Companies that benchmark against DCI
37 companies name DCI as a compensation peer

Each company listed discloses DCI in its own benchmarking peer group, as disclosed in each company's most recent proxy statement within the last two proxy seasons. Two companies are therefore absent by design: one that named DCI in an earlier year and no longer does, and one whose own most recent disclosure is older than the last two seasons.

Incentive-plan design — the Compensation Discussion & Analysis

The executive compensation program is designed to support the Company's objective of creating long-term value through increasingly strong total return to stockholders by aligning compensation to financial measures that balance annual and long-term results. It provides significant portions of total compensation in variable, performance-based programs and sets target total direct compensation based on an established proxy peer group and published market survey data.
