Remuneration

Principles for remuneration and other terms of employment for corporate management

The annual meeting defines principles for remuneration of the corporate management. The recommendation is drawn up by the remuneration committee.

The main principle is that IRRAS shall offer terms appropriate to the market which make it possible for the corporation to recruit and retain competent personnel. Remuneration of the company management shall consist of fixed salary, variable remuneration, a long-term incentive program, retirement benefits and other normal benefits.

The remuneration is based on the commitment and performance of the individual with respect to the goals established beforehand, both individually and collectively for the entire company. Evaluation of the individual performance takes place continuously.
