URW recognises that its workforce is a key asset and the impacts, risks and opportunities associated with it are closely linked to the Company's strategy and business model.

The Group's workforce, operating across 13 countries, is enriched by the diversity of self-employed contractors. However, due to the vast geographical spread and the nature of their engagement, tracking individual contractor information on a global scale is not yet feasible.

URW interacts with a diverse range of value chain workers. These workers can be categorised as follows: Workers in URW's upstream value chain, Workers in URW's downstream value chain.

In 2023, more than half of the Group’s employees volunteered to support local communities where the Group operates. This represents 9,025 volunteering hours delivered by URW employees.
