Executive compensation

Overview

The decisions that our executives make and the risks they manage play out over multi-year time horizons. Executives are required to carefully consider current and future risks, such as those related to climate change, and to make decisions across a broad range of business investments that generate sustainable shareholder value over the long term. The Company’s executive compensation program design aligns executives’ pay with the results of their decisions and the returns of our shareholders over the long term. The program is designed to drive long-term accountability, reward outstanding performance, and promote retention.

The Company’s strategic objectives have been established to drive sustainable value while positioning the Company for long-term success in a lower-emissions future. These objectives are translated into annual plan goals through a comprehensive process which incorporates Corporate and functional plans. Goals are incorporated in the corporate plan, which is reviewed and approved by the Board and provides the framework for the organization’s commitments.
