Beyond ESG: Executive Pay Metrics and Shareholder Support
Author
The second online public lecture in the Indiana University - ECGI Online Series (spring 2025 speaker series) was given by Mariassunta Giannetti of Stockholm School of Economics and ECGI on the topic, “Beyond ESG: Executive Pay Metrics and Shareholder Support”.
Compensation contracts feature a multitude of market, earnings, operating, and ESG metrics, Compensation metrics do not appear to have a large effect on actual payouts to executives and on the sensitivity of pay to market, earnings, and ESG performance, but rather aim to create consensus among shareholders on the proposed pay and the overall corporate strategy.
