There is no mention of negotiation through collective bargaining.

pg. 135

"In addition, 57% of our employees are covered by collective agreements (12% of our global workforce).

In countries not covered by collective bargaining agreements due to different administrative, trade and judicial structures, we closely work with unions to implement operational decisions and coordinate relations between management and employees. Working conditions and terms of employment of employees in these countries are determined by legal requirements and our Global Guidelines."
