How remuneration policy is defined in Acea
The retribution system is the result of a clear, transparent process, involving remuneration policy proposals put forward by the Appointments and Remuneration Committee and their approval by the Board of Directors. The interaction between these two bodies facilitates policy consistency, avoiding the occurrence of conflict of interest situations and ensuring transparency thanks to the availability of adequate information.
The Annual General Meeting can establish a fixed fee for members of the BoD for the entire duration of their mandate. It also decides for or against (non-binding decision pursuant to Art. 123-ter, para. 6, of the Italian Consolidated Finance Act) the remuneration policy, as explained and disseminated via the Remuneration Report.
The Acea Group does not offer employees stock options as part of its reward policy. It should also be noted that with regard to the first and second cycle of the 2021-2023 Long Term Incentive Plan, already initiated, it was decided to include Earnings per share (EPS), since the latter is one of the indicators most commonly used on financial markets to compare company performance and the potential of stock investments. The EPS indicates the profitability associated with the individual share, whether or not the profitability translates into dividends or is retained by the company to fund development.
