Sustainability Information

Consultancy is generally a cyclical sector. Hence, the demand for Ework’s services could decrease in worse times. Since the company does not employ the consultants, the profitability should have a somewhat limited downside, but the revenue growth could be affected. There is also a risk that more consultants may seek employment in a recession, thereby having a safety net, which could also have a negative effect on revenues.
