Objet de l’information

This disclosure asks an organisation to explain what sustainability information is actually reaching its administrative, management and supervisory bodies, and which sustainability matters those bodies are dealing with. In practice, it is about showing whether the top governance bodies are being kept informed in a meaningful way, and whether they are discussing the issues that matter most to the business and its impacts, risks and opportunities.

The practical focus is on breadth and relevance, not just isolated examples. An organisation should think about whether the reporting and discussion cover the whole business where relevant, rather than only a few flagship sites, and whether the matters addressed reflect the organisation’s significant sustainability topics. The aim is to show how governance bodies are connected to sustainability oversight in day-to-day decision-making, not just at a high level.

Préparation

Informations clés à préparer

Champ à préparer Ce qu’il faut recueillir Indice de preuve Responsable
Incentive plan flag State whether any pay or bonus arrangement includes a sustainability-linked element for the reporting period. Remuneration policy, bonus plan documents, board or committee papers approving the scheme, HR or reward records. Reward / HR
Scheme design summary Describe the main features of the sustainability-linked pay arrangement, including how it works and who it applies to. Reward policy, plan rules, committee minutes, HR guidance, and any internal summary of the arrangement. Reward / HR
Performance measures used List the measures or indicators used to judge performance under the sustainability-linked pay arrangement. Plan rules, scorecards, KPI schedules, committee papers, and performance framework documents. Reward / HR
Sustainability pay share Capture the share of variable pay that is tied to sustainability-related performance, using the same basis as the remuneration calculation. Reward calculations, bonus model, committee-approved payout schedules, and payroll or reward system outputs. Reward / HR

Comment le préparer

Confirm which pay arrangements sit in scope for this disclosure, then separate any scheme that is tied to sustainability from other reward plans so you only assess the relevant ones.
For each in-scope arrangement, define the basic design features in plain business terms: who can receive it, what drives the award, and how it operates in practice.
Identify the measures or performance indicators used to judge outcomes, and gather the source records that show how those measures were set and applied.
Work out the share of variable pay connected to sustainability for the reporting period, using a clear and traceable calculation that can be checked back to the underlying records.
Record any exclusions, boundary choices, restatements, or changes in method, and explain why they were made so the reported information is understandable and comparable.
Before finalising, compare the draft against the official source material and internal approvals to make sure the wording, figures, and scope all match the underlying evidence.

Demander les données

Request board and committee briefing evidence

Traduisez l’information en une question métier interne, puis adaptez-la au vocabulaire de votre organisation.

What information was shared with the board and its committees about sustainability topics, and what pay-linked measures were in place during the reporting period?

Use your organisation’s own names for the board, committees, pay plans and performance measures first, then map them to the reporting disclosure. Keep the ask in business language rather than framework wording, and check the source material before sign-off.

Demande faible

Please provide the ESRS 2 GOV-2 information on the evidence needed for ESRS 2:GOV-2, including incentive scheme details and the percentage of variable remuneration linked to sustainability.

Pourquoi elle échoue : This uses framework wording that many internal owners will not recognise, so it is harder to route, harder to answer, and more likely to produce a compliance-style reply instead of the underlying papers and plan data. It also bundles several asks without naming the actual board materials or internal plan records the owner should pull.

Meilleure demande

Please send the board and committee papers for [period] that show which sustainability topics were covered, plus any pay plan or scorecard that used sustainability-linked measures and the share of variable pay tied to those measures. Use your own names for the forums and plans, and include the document reference for each item.

Modèle d’e-mail formel
Subject: Request for board and committee evidence for sustainability reporting

Hi [name/team],

Des notes qui transforment les données en information publiée

Modèles pédagogiques LRA — adaptez-les à votre organisation et vérifiez la source officielle avant validation.

Note méthodologique

State how you determined whether a sustainability-linked incentive exists, what you counted as its main features, and which targets or measures were included in the analysis.

Note de contexte

Explain what the figures say about how far sustainability considerations are built into variable pay and how central they are within the wider remuneration approach.

Déclaration sur les variations

If the share linked to sustainability has changed, describe whether that reflects a redesign of the pay scheme, a change in the measures used, or a shift in the weighting applied to those measures.

We said whether any pay or bonus arrangements for the board and committee members were tied to sustainability matters.An assurer will check that the statement is complete, that the answer is not implied rather than explicit, and that the reporting period and covered people are clear.Approved remuneration policy, board or committee papers, HR or company secretariat records, and the final disclosure sign-off showing the yes/no position stated in the report.
We explained how those pay arrangements connect to sustainability topics and set out the main features of the scheme.An assurer will probe whether the description matches the actual design of the arrangement, whether the features are described consistently across documents, and whether any material element has been left out.Scheme rules, remuneration committee papers, policy documents, and any internal summary used to draft the disclosure, with cross-checks to the published wording.
We identified which sustainability measures or goals were used to judge performance under the pay arrangement.An assurer will test whether the measures named are the ones actually used, whether they were in force for the period reported, and whether the disclosure avoids mixing up targets with broader ambitions.Target-setting papers, scorecards, performance assessment templates, committee minutes, and the final report version showing the measures disclosed.
We stated what share of variable pay depended on sustainability-linked measures.An assurer will check the calculation basis, whether the percentage is for the correct population and period, and whether the figure is internally consistent with the underlying remuneration data.Remuneration calculations, payroll or finance workings, committee approvals, and a reconciliation from the underlying pay data to the percentage reported.

Dossier de preuves à préparer

Lacunes fréquentes dans les rapports

The information is presented without a date or as-at point.
The scope or boundary of the statement is left undefined.
Key terms are used inconsistently across the report.
Material changes since the previous period are not disclosed.
Assertions are made without supporting detail or a source record.
Boilerplate is used that does not actually answer what is asked.

Lacunes fréquentes

Erreurs à éviter lors de la collecte des données

Wrong ownerChasing the board secretary for pay-plan details, when the live source sits with reward, HR or the remuneration committee pack, leads to incomplete or delayed data.
Framework language firstAsking teams for the governance-body wording instead of their own business terms means people cannot match the request to the records they actually hold.
Scope not pinned downPulling figures without stating which entity, plan, committee cycle or staff group is in scope creates a mix of in-scope and out-of-scope records.

Là où un jugement professionnel est souvent nécessaire

What counts as a sustainability-linked pay planDecide whether the arrangement is a true incentive plan or just a wider pay policy, and explain the basis used to include or exclude it from the board pack.
Which performance measures to nameIf different countries, business lines or committees use different measures, set out the version used for the report and note any local variants that were left out.
How to handle a year of change in the group perimeterWhen acquisitions, disposals or restructurings change the reporting group, state the cut-off date and whether the figures reflect the old or new structure, with any restated comparatives.

Exemples

Exemples illustratifs

Synthétiques, rédigés par LRA — ils ne proviennent ni d’un rapport d’entreprise ni du texte d’une norme.

Illustrative (synthetic) example — Manufacturing

We use a variable pay plan for senior leaders, and part of that award depends on sustainability performance. The plan is built around three measures: workplace safety, energy efficiency, and employee retention; in the current year, 30% of variable pay is tied to those measures, based on a total bonus pool of 100 units and 30 units linked to sustainability outcomes.

This example shows a simple pay structure where a portion of annual variable pay is connected to non-financial performance. The figures are internally consistent and purely illustrative.

Illustrative (synthetic) example — Financial services

Our group operates an incentive arrangement for executive management, and sustainability outcomes form one part of the award calculation. We use two measures — financed emissions reduction and staff inclusion outcomes — and 25% of variable remuneration is linked to them, based on 20 units out of a 80-unit variable pay opportunity.

This example illustrates a different sector with a different mix of measures, while still showing whether an incentive arrangement exists, how it is designed, which measures are used, and the share of variable pay connected to sustainability.

Rapports réels publiés
Aena S.M.E., S.A.
Air Transportation — Airport Services · Spain · 2025
Ouvrir le rapport →
Aena S.M.E., S.A.’s 2025 sustainability report provides some related context on governance and sustainability matters addressed by the company’s administrative and supervisory bodies, with references to collaboration with stakeholders (p.31) and integration of sustainability-related targets (p.68), but these disclosures are not clearly detailed. The report mentions the Board of Directors’ commitment to sustainability (p.25) and links sustainability performance to incentive schemes (p.9), yet it lacks explicit, quotable evidence for GOV 2.1 and clear disclosures on governance information provision (p.299). Overall, while governance and sustainability topics are referenced, the report does not clearly disclose the specific GOV 2 datapoints.
Enagás, S.A.
Gas Utilities · Spain · 2025
Ouvrir le rapport →
Enagás, S.A.’s 2025 Annual Report includes references to the disclosure topic GOV-2 concerning information provided to and sustainability matters addressed by the company’s administrative, management, and supervisory bodies, with mentions on pages 37, 44, and 81. However, the report does not provide clear or detailed disclosures for GOV 2.1, 2.2, or 2.3, as no quotable evidence was found for these datapoints. There is some related context linked to variable remuneration on page 108, but it is not a clear disclosure of the specific GOV 2.4 datapoint.
Hera S.p.A.
Water Utilities · Italy · 2024
Ouvrir le rapport →
Hera S.p.A.'s 2024 Consolidated Financial Statements include a specific disclosure of total variable remuneration related to ESG objectives, quantified as Euro 85,280 on page 98. There is related context on page 261 referencing incentive schemes linked to sustainability issues for administrative, management, and control roles, but this does not clearly disclose all aspects of the datapoint GOV 2.gov 2.1. No evidence was found in the report for GOV 2.gov 2.2 and GOV 2.gov 2.3, indicating these datapoints remain unaddressed or unclear.

Scénarios à travailler

A group has a bonus plan for executive directors, but the sustainability part is only discussed informally in meetings and is not written into the plan documents. The reporting team is deciding whether to treat this as a linked incentive arrangement for the year-end report.

QShould this be counted as a sustainability-linked pay arrangement, or left out because it is only discussed rather than formally built into the plan?
Afficher la réponse type →

The board receives a quarterly pack that mentions emissions, workforce safety and ethics incidents, but the pack also includes many other topics. The preparer is unsure whether to describe all of these as matters the board dealt with, or only the ones that led to actual discussion and follow-up.

QWhich topics should be reported as matters the board addressed: everything in the pack, or only the sustainability topics that were actually taken up in governance discussions?
Afficher la réponse type →

A company uses a scorecard for annual bonuses. Half of the variable pay depends on financial performance, and the other half depends on a mix of safety, emissions and employee engagement measures. The reporting team has to explain the share linked to sustainability without overstating it.

QHow should the team present the proportion of variable pay tied to sustainability measures when only part of the bonus uses those measures?
Afficher la réponse type →

The sustainability team has a draft note saying the board discussed climate, labour and anti-corruption matters, but it does not say what performance measures were used, whether any incentives were in place, or how much pay was affected. The preparer must decide whether the note is complete enough for disclosure.

QIs it enough to say the board discussed these topics, or does the disclosure also need the incentive link and the measures used to judge performance?
