In the Spotlight

Incentives and Steering

The selection of appropriate KPIs for variable compensation and the design of the remuneration systems have a major influence on steering and motivation. This is particularly important for the Management Board.

Flexibility

Remuneration systems are strategic systems with limited flexibility. As early as the design stage, care must be taken to anticipate future developments and to implement possible reactions within the system.

Stakeholder interests

Appropriate comprehensibility and transparency of the remuneration systems is required in order to serve the demands of both executive board members and shareholders or owners.

Compliance

Taking into account the legal requirements and recommendations (including EU-Führungspositionen-Richtlinie or Sustainable Governance Principles for medium-sized companies), the review of the appropriateness of executive remuneration is essential.
