Companies that benchmark against KWR
24 companies name KWR as a compensation peer

Each company listed discloses KWR 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 KWR 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

Our compensation philosophy focuses on aligning the financial interests of our executive officers with those of our shareholders by placing a significant portion of total compensation 'at risk' and providing overall compensation opportunities that are comparable to market levels. We aim to provide a balanced focus on both short- and long-term goals, motivating and rewarding executives for achieving financial and strategic objectives while attracting and retaining high-performing talent.
