Executive Compensation in Context

This conference brings together thought leaders and practitioners who will address the key issues and trends in executive compensation, C-suite and Board priorities, and evolving business and broader societal issues.  We will explore the views of multiple constituencies and stakeholders for an energetic discussion of different viewpoints and exchange of creative ideas.    

While many organizations talk about the shift from stockholder toward stakeholder capitalism, The Conference Board has uniquely focused on what it means, in practice, for CEOs and the C-suite. There is a broad acknowledgment of the momentum behind the shift; not all companies, boards, or investors are in the same place. This event provides the opportunity for productive discussion about different concerns and priorities.

Who should attend:

  • Board Directors – especially members of compensation committees
  • C-suite executives including Chief Human Resources Officers, Chief People Officers 
  • Senior leaders and professionals in the fields of Total Rewards, Executive Compensation, Compensation and Benefits, Investor Relations
  • Other executive compensation professionals
  • General Counsels and Legal professionals responsible for executive compensation

  • Marketing Partnerships: JAbel@tcb.org

09:55 AM - 10:40 AM ET

Evolving Executive Compensation - Revisiting our Guiding Principles

Incentive plan leverage and variability have historically been tied to financial and shareholder returns. We argued that the increase in incentive plan leverage was related to “performance-based pay,” and that shareholders should be happy to see high payouts because they were aligned with high returns. In recent years, market volatility and pressure to focus on non-financial and sustainability-related goals have led to a broadening of incentive metrics, wider goal ranges, and more certainty in payouts. This panel will explore: How should practitioners and board members think about the trend in incentive compensation and the role of shareholder returns?

Incorporating ESG and Other Non-Financial Metrics Into Executive Incentive Plans: Where do we Go From Here?

This session will examine the key issues of fairness, competitiveness, and alignment in a contemporary context and will challenge the conventional wisdom of the past decade(s). They will discuss the questions that compensation committees will need to ask and answer to respond to the cacophony of critics who insist that executive compensation is out of control and badly in need of better governance, if not greater regulation.
