2 Vetoquinol Universal Registration Document 2020 Financial report 35 STATEMENT OF NON-FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE Vetoquinol’s people As a result, changes in headcount vary considerably according to the regions concerned: In Europe, the workforce grew by 3.7%, with increases in France, the UK, Poland and Belgium following recruit- ments for positions required for the acquisition of both Drontal ® and Profender ® . In the Americas, the workforce fell by 7.8%, mainly due to the reorganization of the Brazilian subsidiary and the closure of the Mairipora production plant. In Asia, the workforce grew by 6.4% due to a significant increase in the workforce in India following recruitment for mainly vacant positions at the end of 2019 and the low rate of voluntary departures in India caused by the health crisis.

This acquisition of assets, without any transfer of workforce by the seller, also required the strengthe- ning of our functions that manage product flows, which explains the increase in Supply Chain & Procurement staff. In addition, we noted a decrease in the Production departments of 9.1%. This decrease is partly explained by the closure of the Mairipora production plant in Brazil and the reorganization of that subsidiary. That restruc- turing also had an impact on the Quality department, whose workforce also declined slightly by 2.1%. The Science and Administrative departments remained rela- tively stable.
