Figures on the number of employees at the end of the year are not indicative of the average number of staff, as data are affected by seasonal contract workers appointed during the summer. In fact the Group uses fixed-term employment contracts to handle typical peaks in demand in the summer months. The average number of employees is therefore historically higher than the average number at the end of the year, with the same scope of consolidation.
