Rewarding and recognising employees
Remuneration plays a key role in retaining, motivating and attracting employees. Successful employees should be recognized for their contribution to the business to reinforce a culture of performance and innovation.
Our Group remuneration policy focuses on encouraging strong performance, profit-sharing, fairness and transparency in pay decisions, and ensuring a balance between basic and performance-related pay. We offer competitive pay and benefits in every country where we operate.
For details on the remuneration of members of the Board of Directors and the Corporate Executive Committee, please refer to the Corporate Governance section in our latest Annual Report.
