Strong commitment to international governance standards and continuous shareholder engagement
Areas for Action - Feedback from Shareholder Engagements
What We Heard | What We Are Doing | |
The new Board structure makes sense and seems to be more effective. Outcomes of external Board reviews should be published
Sustainability reporting should be enhanced with additional reporting standards (e.g. TCFD)
Enhance Supervisory Board skills matrix with ESG expertise
Remuneration: Ex-ante disclosure of performance measure weightings and target values requested, as well as retrospective disclosure of target achievements in remuneration report (STI and LTI)
Remuneration: Disclose more detailed framework for LTI 2020-2024 including vesting schedule for different levels of target achievements
An independent performance review of the new Board composition and its functioning was conducted after a 12 months period. The results will be published in the Annual Report 2020
A TCFD roadmap has been worked out and first recommendations (governance and risk management) will be included in the Annual Report 2020. Climate risk topics will regularly be discussed in the Supervisory Board and Sustainability and Innovation Committee
ESG know-how will be a focus topic for future director nominations and the skills matrix will be expanded once new Board members are appointed. The Board is continuously supported by external and internal experts
Ex-ante target disclosure will be published before AGMs. Transparent retrospective disclosure of target achievements and resulting pay outs will be disclosed in annual remuneration reports
Remuneration Committee worked on a detailed framework for the LTI including payout curves per KPI (see slide 28)
