• The work from home facility for relevant employees has been extended until April 14, 2020

• All offices, plants and warehouses have been closed and operations have been stopped in line with directives issued by the relevant national and local authorities

• Maximum precautions are taken to ensure the safety and well-being of our employees. At all AkzoNobel locations, colleagues are sticking to social distancing measures, where these are in force, and observing all necessary hygiene rules.

• During recent weeks, maximum precautions are taken to ensure the safety and well-being of employees, including guidance related to travel, hygiene, working from home, as well as virtual engagement initiatives.

We are monitoring and managing the extent and duration of any local requirements impacting/ related to our physical locations. As the situation continues to evolve, we are constantly adapting our actions.
