Kern der Offenlegung
This disclosure asks an organisation to explain whether, and how, pay and other remuneration for senior decision-makers is connected to climate-related performance. In practice, the report should make clear what part of remuneration is affected, which roles are covered, and what climate-related measures are used to assess performance. The focus is on showing the real link between incentives and climate priorities, rather than simply stating that climate is considered in principle.
Practically, the organisation should describe the scope of the arrangement: for example, whether it applies across the whole business or only to certain executives, business units or sites. It should also explain the basis for any climate-related element in pay, so readers can understand how consistently the approach is applied and how material it is within the overall remuneration structure.

Daten anfordern
Request the pay-link evidence from Reward / Finance
Übersetzen Sie die Offenlegung in eine interne Geschäftsfrage — und passen Sie diese dann an die Sprache Ihrer Organisation an.
What climate-related measures, if any, are built into executive pay, how are they described internally, and what share of executive pay is tied to them?
Use your organisation’s own reward and performance language first, then map it to the disclosure wording. Ask for the actual pay plan terms, scorecards, and approval records in the terms your business uses, and only translate them into the reporting label at the end. Check the official source before sign-off.
Schwache Anfrage
Please provide the remuneration linkage disclosure data for climate, including governance oversight, measures and conditions used, and the percentage of executive pay linked to climate.
Warum sie scheitert: This uses framework language that may not match how the organisation actually manages pay. It also bundles several ideas without asking for the underlying plan documents, approval trail, or the internal terms needed to verify the figures.
Bessere Anfrage
Please send the executive pay evidence for [reporting period] covering [entity/boundary]. We need the plan documents, the climate-related scorecard or condition used, the approval record, and the share of executive pay affected. Please use your own plan names and internal wording, then add a short note showing how that maps to the reporting label.

Methodenhinweis
Explain which decision-makers were involved, what climate-related measures or conditions were used, and how the percentage linked to executive pay was calculated.
Kontexthinweis
Set out what the figures show about how far climate considerations are built into senior pay and what that says about the organisation’s approach to incentives.
Erläuterung zu Schwankungen
If the percentage or the measures changed from the prior period, describe the main reason, such as a revised pay design, a different set of conditions, or a change in governance oversight.

| We have named the board-level group, committee, or other decision-makers that oversee the pay link, and we can show how that role was described in the report. | An assurer will check that the named oversight body is real, correctly identified, and actually connected to the climate-pay link described in the disclosure. | Board or committee terms of reference, governance charts, remuneration policy papers, meeting minutes, and the final report wording showing the oversight body and its role. |
| We have explained the way climate matters were built into executive pay, including the specific targets, triggers, or other conditions we used. | An assurer will probe whether the stated pay conditions are complete, internally consistent, and supported by the underlying remuneration design. | Remuneration policy documents, scorecards, incentive plan rules, target-setting papers, approval papers, and calculations showing how climate conditions were applied. |
| We calculated the share of current-period executive pay tied to climate factors using the same population and period throughout the disclosure. | An assurer will test whether the percentage is based on the right pay population, the right reporting period, and a consistent method of calculation. | Payroll and remuneration schedules, calculation workings, population definitions, period cut-offs, and reconciliation to the reported percentage. |
| We kept a clear audit trail for the remuneration linkages, so the reported figure can be traced back to source records and approvals. | An assurer will look for traceability from the published statement back to source data, including whether the evidence supports each linkage claimed. | Source files, version history, approval emails, committee papers, policy extracts, and a documented mapping from each reported linkage to its source. |
| Before publication, we checked the disclosure for internal consistency, arithmetic accuracy, and alignment with the approved remuneration materials. | An assurer will examine whether the final text matches the underlying records and whether any review step could have missed an error or mismatch. | Disclosure review checklist, sign-off records, cross-checks against policy and payroll data, arithmetic review workings, and evidence of final management approval. |

Synthetisch, von LRA verfasst — nicht aus einem Unternehmensbericht und kein Text aus einem Standard.
Our board and its committees review how climate matters are built into pay, and the remuneration committee uses a scorecard that combines delivery against emissions targets, progress on transition projects, and risk-management milestones. In this example, 3 of 5 executive directors have a pay element tied to climate outcomes, so the share linked to climate is 60%.
- The board receives updates on the link between climate performance and executive reward each year.
- The pay framework uses a mix of financial and non-financial measures, with climate conditions applied to annual bonus and long-term awards.
This example shows how a reporter might describe board-level oversight, the conditions used in pay decisions, and the share of executive pay connected to climate outcomes without using standard wording.
Our directors and committee members oversee a pay policy that includes climate-related hurdles for senior leaders, and the remuneration committee checks whether those hurdles are met before awards vest. In this example, 2 of 4 executives have climate-linked pay terms, so the proportion is 50%.
- The measures used include energy-intensity reduction, lower process emissions, and completion of supplier engagement actions.
- The board is kept informed of how those pay links are working in practice and whether they are influencing management behaviour.
This example shows a different sector using a different mix of climate conditions and a different level of executive coverage, while still covering governance oversight, the measures used, and the pay linkage share.

Szenarien zum Durcharbeiten
The remuneration committee has agreed that part of the annual bonus for the chief executive and finance director will depend on climate-related delivery. The draft note says the board reviewed the approach, but it does not yet explain what the link is based on.
A group uses a scorecard for executive incentives, combining emissions progress, safety outcomes and cash flow targets. The climate element affects only one part of the annual award, and the team is unsure whether to mention the exact share.
The board approved a long-term incentive plan that can be reduced if climate milestones are missed, but the draft only says the plan is ‘aligned with sustainability priorities’. No one has yet documented the specific conditions or the committee that reviewed them.
A preparer has the percentage of executive pay linked to climate, but the figure was taken from an old remuneration paper and the current board pack shows a different structure after a mid-year redesign. The draft disclosure still uses the earlier number.

FAQ
Fragen, die diese Seite beantwortet
The page says to prepare four datapoints: board oversight, applied criteria, climate-linked pay share, and pay incentive links. It also has a step-by-step preparation section you can use to turn those inputs into a draft.
Use the plain-language explainer and the step-by-step preparation section to decide what the disclosure is covering and how you will present it. The page is designed to help you set up the disclosure in a practical way rather than as a formal standard text.
The page is aimed at sustainability and ESG managers, HR or data owners, and assurance reviewers, so ownership usually sits with the people who hold the underlying pay and governance information. The preparation section and workbook are there to help you assign and track those inputs.
The page includes five assurance claims to verify and an evidence pack with five items to support review. Use those together to check the claim, the risk, and the evidence before you finalise the draft.
The page lists common reporting gaps and mistakes so you can spot issues before drafting. It is meant to help you avoid missing data, weak evidence, or unclear presentation.
The Download Centre includes a Prep & Assurance workbook in .xlsx format. Use it to organise the preparation steps, track the datapoints, and assemble the evidence needed for assurance.
The Download Centre also includes a printable Library Card in .pdf format. It is a practical companion for keeping the disclosure topic, key datapoints, and assurance checks in one place.
Yes, the page includes synthetic illustrative example disclosures, including a quantitative table, to show how the disclosure can be drafted. Treat it as a model for structure and presentation, not as real company data.
The page includes draft-output support such as visualisation ideas, narrative starters, and a content-index line. That makes it easier to turn your collected data into a first draft.
The page says the closest ESRS correspondence is ESRS E1 (Climate Change). You can treat that as a useful cross-framework reference and reuse data where it fits your reporting, but the page does not say the requirements are identical.
