Kern van de disclosure

This disclosure asks an organisation to explain whether, and how, sustainability-related performance is built into pay and reward arrangements for people who influence the business. In practice, the focus is on showing the link between sustainability priorities and incentives, rather than simply saying that sustainability matters in principle. The organisation should describe the main features of the scheme in a way that makes clear what is being rewarded and who is covered.

The practical emphasis is on the real scope of the arrangement: whether it applies across the organisation or only to selected roles, business units, or senior leaders, and whether it is used consistently or only in certain parts of the business. The report should help a reader understand how far the incentive approach reaches in practice, and whether sustainability performance is embedded in everyday management or limited to a few flagship functions or sites.

Hoe u dit voorbereidt

Set the boundary for the due-diligence process first: decide which parts of the business, value chain, and reporting period are in scope for this disclosure, so the rest of the work is anchored to the right population.
Agree the working definitions before you start drafting: make clear what your team will treat as a due-diligence step, what counts as relevant evidence, and which internal sources will be used to support the disclosure.
Gather the underlying material from the people who own the process: collect policies, procedures, records, approvals, meeting papers, tracking logs, and any other support that shows how the steps were carried out.
Turn the source material into the disclosure content: prepare the narrative of the steps taken, and where the disclosure needs figures, compile them from the same evidence base so the text and numbers match.
Record anything left out or changed from the prior period: explain exclusions, restatements, reclassifications, or other changes in approach, and make sure the reason for each change is clear.
Check the draft against the official source before sign-off: confirm that the final wording and any cross-references point to the right disclosure locations and that nothing material has been missed or mislabelled.

De gegevens opvragen

Request the incentive-scheme evidence and disclosure cross-references

Vertaal de disclosure naar een interne bedrijfsvraag — en pas die daarna aan op het taalgebruik van uw organisatie.

How are sustainability-related performance measures built into pay or bonus arrangements, and where is that shown in the reporting pack?

Use your organisation’s own names first, then map them to the reporting disclosure. For example, ask for bonus scorecards, annual incentive plans, long-term plan metrics, scorecard weightings, committee papers, and report cross-references rather than using framework labels in the request.

Zwak verzoek

Please provide the ESRS 2:GOV-3 evidence for integration of sustainability-related performance in incentive schemes, including due diligence steps and cross-references.

Waarom dit misgaat: It uses framework language that many internal owners will not recognise, so the request is harder to action. It also does not say which plans, people, systems, or documents to pull, or how the evidence should be returned.

Beter verzoek

Please send the bonus plan, scorecard, or other variable pay documents for [period] that show which internal measures are used, how they affect payout, who is covered, and where this is referenced in the draft report. Include the source file, approval paper, and any changes made during the period.

Please also confirm:
- which employee groups or roles are in scope;
- whether the arrangement changed during the period;
- the owner of the final evidence pack.

A possible LRA training template only — please adapt this to your organisation’s own terms and check the source material before sign-off.

Many thanks,

Voor te bereiden bewijsdossier

Veelvoorkomende hiaten in de rapportage

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.

Veelvoorkomende hiaten

Fouten om te vermijden bij het verzamelen van gegevens

Wrong ownerThe request goes to the wrong team or person, so the data is chased from someone who does not actually hold the pay-plan or performance records.
Framework language usedThe question is asked in ESRS-style wording instead of the organisation’s own terms, and the respondent cannot map it to the relevant bonus or reward process.
Scope not pinned downNo one states which pay arrangements, employee groups, or business units are in scope, so different people collect different slices of the data.

Waar vaak een professionele afweging nodig is

Choosing which pay plans sit in scopeSet out the organisation’s rule for which bonus, long-term award or other pay plan is treated as linked to sustainability performance, and explain any cut-off used for plans that sit close to the boundary.
Handling newly bought or sold businessesState how you deal with awards and performance measures when a business is added or removed during the year, including whether you keep, restate or exclude those figures and why.
Different country labels for the same pay metricIf local schemes use different names or definitions for similar performance measures, explain the mapping you use so readers can see how the group view was built from local practice.

Voorbeelden

Illustratieve voorbeelden

Synthetisch, geschreven door LRA — niet afkomstig uit een bedrijfsrapport en geen tekst uit een standaard.

Illustrative (synthetic) example — Food processing

We describe the main checks we carried out to identify and manage the most significant sustainability-related issues in our operations and supply chain, and we point readers to where the fuller detail sits in our report.
- Our board and committee papers summarise the review steps, the issues considered, and the actions agreed during the year.
- The related narrative is set out in the governance section, the risk discussion, and the due-diligence appendix, where we also explain how the work links across those parts of the report.

This example shows a company explaining the practical steps it used to review and address material sustainability matters, then directing readers to the sections where those details are described elsewhere in the report.

Illustrative (synthetic) example — Renewable energy

We set out how we checked the main sustainability risks and impacts across our project pipeline, and we indicate the report sections that contain the supporting detail.
- The review covered site selection, contractor oversight, and follow-up actions, with the board receiving updates on the outcomes.
- Readers can find the fuller explanation in the governance narrative, the risk and controls section, and the appendix that brings the related disclosures together.

This example shows a different type of reporter describing its review process in plain language and cross-referencing the places in the report where the supporting information is located.

Echte gepubliceerde rapporten
Sanoma Oyj
Education Services · Finland · 2025
Rapport openen →
Sanoma Oyj’s 2025 Annual Report provides evidence that the company includes sustainability-related performance in its incentive schemes for management bodies, as noted on page 62. However, there is no found evidence regarding further details or additional aspects of these incentive schemes elsewhere in the report. The report does not provide information on other related governance disclosures under this category.
Moncler S.p.A.
Textiles, Apparel, Footwear and Luxury Goods · Italy · 2024
Rapport openen →
Moncler S.p.A.'s 2024 Annual Report references the integration of sustainability-related performance in incentive schemes, with related context found on page 130, although it does not provide a clear or detailed disclosure of this aspect. Additional mentions on pages 105 and 130 indicate some discussion around sustainability performance and governance, but the specific details required for GOV 3.gov 3.1 are not present. Overall, the report lacks a definitive statement or comprehensive data on the integration of sustainability criteria into incentive schemes.
Pirelli & C. S.p.A.
Automobiles and Components · Italy · 2025
Rapport openen →
Pirelli & C. S.p.A.'s 2025 Annual Report includes a reported value related to the integration of sustainability-related performance in incentive schemes, as noted on page 116. The report provides context on sustainability governance and mentions this integration, but it does not clearly disclose all specific details for the related datapoint on the same page. Therefore, while some information is covered, the completeness of the disclosure on this aspect remains unclear.

Scenario’s om door te werken

The remuneration committee is drafting the annual bonus scorecard. It plans to include a climate metric, but the draft paper does not explain how the metric was chosen, who reviewed it, or whether any wider checks were done before it was linked to pay.

VWhat should the preparer do before the scorecard is finalised?
Modelantwoord tonen →

A group company uses one short-term bonus plan for executives, while a separate long-term plan is handled by the parent board. The draft report only describes the executive plan and leaves out the parent-level arrangement because it is “group-wide”.

VHow should the preparer decide what to include?
Modelantwoord tonen →

The sustainability team proposes a safety target for the annual cash bonus. Finance asks whether the report can simply state that the target exists, because the detailed design is already in the remuneration policy appendix.

VIs a brief mention enough, or does the preparer need to do more?
Modelantwoord tonen →

The draft says the company “considered environmental and social matters in pay decisions”, but it does not say whether those matters were actually built into the bonus formula, used only in discretion, or reviewed as part of the design process.

VWhat judgement should the preparer make about the wording?
