Decision-making process concerning remuneration
Decisions on the remuneration of the Supervisory Board of Metsä Group's parent company, Metsäliitto Cooperative, are made by the Representative Council. Decisions on the remuneration of the members of Metsäliitto Cooperative's Board of Directors are made by the Supervisory Board on the basis of a proposal made by the Supervisory Board's Nomination Committee.
Metsäliitto Cooperative has a CEO, who also acts as the President and CEO of Metsä Group, unless otherwise decided by the Board of Directors. The President and CEO manages the operations of the entire Metsä Group. The Board of Directors decides on the remuneration and other financial benefits of the Group's President and CEO and the members of the Group's Executive Management Team employed by Metsäliitto Cooperative, as well as on the principles of the short and long-term incentive systems on the basis of the HR Committee's preparation.
All Metsä Group companies comply with the same remuneration principles, and the remuneration criteria are approved by the Board of Directors of each subsidiary. The decision-making process guarantees that the decisions are made fairly and impartially.
