A company specific comparison can be ordered separately.
The regulation of executive remuneration has tightened over the last few years. The reporting of companies listed at Helsinki Stock Exchange is primarily guided by the listed companies’ corporate governance code. Finnish companies draft their annual Remuneration reports regarding executive remuneration.
In the spring of 2015 we analysed the published Finnish companies’ remuneration reports. The research data consists of around 120 listed companies and the results are interesting. The quality of reporting of remuneration has improved over the last years and there are increasingly more excellent, clear and understandable remuneration reports. There is still high variation between companies however. Most of the companies report moderately well and ten listed companies’ report is considered excellent.

Company specific comparison can be ordered separately
Company specific comparison can only be ordered by the board or top management of the requesting company. In the company specific comparison we evaluate the company’s executive remuneration practices, structures and levels against a specifically agreed market or a peer group.
