The framework for the remuneration is set for the Remuneration Policy of the governing bodies of Outokumpu, which was approved at the Annual General Meeting in March 2026.
The principles of remuneration include shareholder value creation, competitive remuneration, incentives aligned with business strategy, and pay for performance. Sustainability targets are included in our incentive plans. The remuneration of the employees follows these same principles,
Sustainability in all its aspects continues to be at the core of our operations. Safety has been a target in all short-term incentive plans, including for the CEO, for many years. Since 2023, diversity has also been included as a target in the short-term incentive plan for top leaders, though it does not apply to the CEO. CO2 emission reduction also remained a key target in our long-term incentive program, the Performance Share Plan, in which the CEO and close to 200 leaders participate.
Going forward, we will continue to review our remuneration framework to ensure it supports value delivery for all our stakeholders.
