Peer group, and who names Marathon Petroleum as a peer

Companies that benchmark against MPC

16 companies name MPC as a compensation peer

Each company listed discloses MPC 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 MPC in an earlier year and no longer does, and one whose own most recent disclosure is older than the last two seasons.

FIS Information Corporate

Peer reciprocity

Of the companies Marathon Petroleum Corp names as compensation peers, which name it back in their own disclosed peer groups. A peer set the market reciprocates reads differently from one selected in a single direction.

Reciprocity shown where the peer’s own current proxy has been read — each mark is cited in the register to that peer’s filing. A dash means the peer’s current proxy was read and names no reciprocal group including Marathon Petroleum Corp.

Chief executive pay against the peer group

Most recent fiscal-year chief executive compensation at each disclosed peer, taken from that company’s own proxy statement.
