The role of executive pay in promoting responsible business
Dans Lexology, RPC propose une synthèse intéressante qui rappelle une évidence : la rémunération des hauts-dirigeants a un rôle à jouer dans la pérennité à long-terme des entrepris. Un article synthétique à lire qui revient sur le projet de réforme britannique de gouvernance d’entreprise : « The role of executive pay in promoting responsible business » (24 mars 2017).
Executive pay is a thorny issue. Well-structured remuneration packages can help to ensure that companies are run responsibly for the benefit of shareholders, employees, customers, and wider society. However, when improperly designed, executive pay packages can encourage short-term and risky behaviour which dents public confidence in business.

The ultimate aim for businesses is to attract and retain top talent whilst ensuring that those individuals are motivated to achieve sustainable, long-term value creation for the company. Where there is a perception that ever more generous remuneration packages are necessary in order to achieve those objectives, we are unlikely to see any reversal in current pay trends, with or without reform.
