Remuneration – reward performance, simply and effectively
Companies are all unique – and so are their compensation systems. If it’s to do what it’s meant to do, any compensation system should be a good fit with the company’s strategy. A well balanced compensation system helps to motivate staff and to foster loyalty to the company, which at the same time can position the company as an attractive employer when seeking out new talent.

We aim to work together with you in devising and setting up a compensation system that meets your specific needs while being in line with your corporate strategy.

Upon request, international peers can also be added to your report.
This customised benchmark analysis enables you to verify that the Board compensation in your company is competitive and aligned with market practice. It includes information on the typical compensation structure and the compensation levels for the functions of chairman of the Board, vice-chairman of the Board and member of the Board, including details around compensation for the work in the various Board’s committees.
To ensure you fulfil regulatory requirements such as the SIX Directive on Corporate Governance and the Ordinance against excessive compensation (VegüV) as well as guidelines of the key Proxy Advisors ISS, Glass Lewis, Ethos and zRating, we can provide you with an analysis of your last compensation report.
In our analysis, we identify specific areas of improvement and provide tailored best practice examples. We also share with you our broad expertise to help you deliver a state-of-the art disclosure.
