As environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues increasingly take center-stage, there is more interest from investors and boards in putting climate targets in their compensation policies.

“Willis Towers Watson is partnering with Climate Governance initiative in collaboration with the World Economic Forum to survey and interview board directors and Remuneration Committee members to understand how companies are embedding meaningful and ambitious Climate-related goals into executive pay. A recent Willis Towers Watson study on broader ESG and Executive Compensation matters indicated that 78 percent of board directors believe ESG is a key contributor to strong financial performance, in addition to its being the right thing to do.”
