Employee shareholding scheme

Keeping employees loyal to voestalpine
Ensuring stable underlying conditions
Knowing that further development is in good hands
Having one’s own say
BEING INVOLVED!

Our employees are the company’s most important assets. The economic success of our group, which has put us up at the top of the class, would not have been possible without their magnificent endeavours. They are actively promoting its continual development, and thereby demonstrating their solidarity with the company.
Employees are involved in two different ways:
first, voestalpine has a stable shareholder in the form of the employees’ private foundation and,
secondly, employees as real owners profit from the success of the company.

The interests of shareholders and employees go hand in hand.


The employee shareholding in voestalpine is based on a conversion of their wages and salaries by exploiting tax advantages that may exist. Employees have a voice in the company, by means of deed of trust in the voestalpine employees’ private foundation, for as long as they continue to work in the group.

Employees participate in their own company by holding shares in it. Employees receive an annual dividend on such shares, in the same way as all the company’s other shareholders.

The entire model is administered in the foundation where contributions have to be assembled, calculations made, and purchases of shares organised.

The employees of the voestalpine group have shown intense solidarity with the group, impressively, with strategically bundled ownership in the form of their joint shareholding.
