More than three-quarters of top companies link pay incentives to sustainability
"The starting point should be a small number of performance indicators that are measurable, meaningful, and decisive."
An analysis of the 25 largest companies by market capitalisation across 15 countries has found that 78% link executive pay to sustainability performance.
The KPMG study looked at a total of 375 publicly listed companies across Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, China, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, the UK and the US – many of which would have to comply with the EU’s Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) under its original scope.
