How much are senior executives being paid across Europe today? What are their remuneration packages made up of? And is executive remuneration becoming too complicated?

This white paper answers these questions and more.

It’s the result of an ongoing study by Vlerick’s Executive Remuneration Research Centre. Since 2014, the centre has been compiling a comprehensive database of CEO remuneration.

The work is painstaking, and involves extracting information from remuneration reports published by Stoxx Europe 600 companies. And the results are illuminating.

Download this white paper to discover how executives are being paid across different countries, how they’re being incentivised to achieve ESG results – and what balance is being struck between short-term and long-term incentives.
