The value we generate is shown in our value-added analysis. WashTec’s total output amounted to €486 million. Of that amount, €236m (45.0%) went to our suppliers. In 2022, we generated €183m or 37.7% of total output as value added. €136m was paid to our workforce, €39m was distributed as dividends, around €1m was interest paid to lenders, and we remitted €11m to the public sector in the form of taxes and duties. The Company thus paid out around €12m more to shareholders, lenders and the public sector than it generated in value added in the reporting year. We secured our future with €14m in research and development expenditure.
