Incentive-plan design — the Compensation Discussion & Analysis
Our executive compensation philosophy is based upon three core values: pay for performance, market-competitive pay and sustained shareholder value creation. We align executive interests with shareholders by tying compensation to annual and long-term value creation, with a greater emphasis on longer-term aspects to ensure multi-year value creation. We set market-competitive pay levels using benchmarking data and reward above-target performance through variable compensation.
