Are shareholders and companies seeing eye-to-eye on executive pay and ESG?

Executive compensation practices have never been under greater scrutiny. Increased shareholder activism, heightened public scrutiny of corporate profits and a push for progress on key issues such as environmental, social and governance (ESG) and diversity, equity & inclusion (DEI), have placed immense pressure on organisations to ensure executive compensation is not only at the right level, but is also closely aligned to company strategy and goals.

However, when organisations get executive compensation right, the positive effects flow throughout the entire organisation, from showing support to employees to demonstrating commitment to a stronger future.
