Executive pay
Ensuring executive pay is squarely linked to performance
Overview
The CBI works to influence the debate and rules surrounding executive pay. We believe that executive pay must be squarely linked to performance and that payment for failure is unacceptable. The jobs market for senior company executives is one where talent competes globally, so it is important that executive pay must not become a political football.
