Aligning Executive Interests with the Long-term Interest of the Company
The ability to effectively oversee executive remuneration is a central element of the current corporate governance debate. In responding to this and other corporate governance challenges, the OECD’s Corporate Governance Committee launched a peer review process designed to facilitate the effective implementation of the OECD Principles of Corporate Governance and to assist market participants and policy makers to respond to emerging corporate governance risks. The process builds on Principle V.A.4. of the OECD Principles. This principle recommends that the board should fulfill certain key functions including “aligning key executive and board remuneration with the longer term interests of the company and its shareholders”. This chapter discusses the market environment, the legal and regulatory frameworks and responses to remuneration and board practices, in particular, the use of remuneration consultants and board members’ responsibility for shareholder engagement.
