The make-up of personnel in the Americas and Europe did not significantly change in 2016, nor was it impacted by any major factors.

Rates of employee turnover are a key metric within Calgon Carbon and material to our day-to-day operations. With voluntary and involuntary terminations formally defined, data is collected and presented. We actively report on annual voluntary retention for the corporation as a whole. The metric measures the percentage of employees still employed by the Company over a defined period of time. We compare this metric against industry standards and continue to track our voluntary and involuntary terminations.
