He said that this includes prioritising and postponing technology, IT and sales activities across Vestas.
“Unfortunately, the adjustment also includes an intention to reduce staff within specific areas and projects that are postponed or cancelled,” he added.
The spokesperson said that the company intends to “conduct 275 activity-based layoffs”.
He said: “It’s always tough to let go of hard-working colleagues, but we must ensure that our organisation reflects our expected activity levels, to safeguard the right balance between 2022 priorities and long-term growth.”
