Global Summit: Executive Compensation and Climate Targets

Synopsis:

Increasingly more and more organizations are accelerating their environmental, social and governance (ESG) priorities, and are beginning to include ESG measures in their executive incentive plans. Willis Towers Watson is partnering with Climate Governance initiative in collaboration with the World Economic Forum to survey and interview board directors and Remuneration Committee members to understand how companies are embedding meaningful and ambitious Climate-related goals into executive pay.

A recent Willis Towers Watson study on broader ESG and Executive Compensation matters indicated that 78% of board directors believe ESG is a key contributor to strong financial performance, in addition to its being the right thing to do.

This webinar will share some of Willis Towers Watson’s existing research on how companies are incorporating ESG and Climate targets in executive incentive plans. This will be followed by a panel discussion of board directors, who will share their experience, challenges and opportunities in aligning management’s interests with those of all stakeholders.

Willis Towers Watson will continue the research targeting how companies link their Climate ambitions to Executive Pay.
