Remuneration Committee
The Remuneration Committee, which meets at least twice a year, is chaired by an independent non-executive director and comprises only non-executive directors. The current members are S G Pretorius (Chairman), J B Magwaza and N Mjoli-Mncube.
P H Staude, as CEO, attends by invitation and M A C Mahlari is the secretary.
The reward philosophy, which has been approved by the board, is formulated to attract, motivate and retain executive directors, executives and employees needed to manage and run the company successfully. The Remuneration Committee is responsible for considering and making recommendations to the board on the policy and on the quantum, structure and composition of remuneration packages of executive directors and senior executives. In addition, it reviews general salary increases for management and the operation of the company’s management incentive schemes. Rewards are linked to both individual performance and the performance of the company. From time to time, independent external studies and comparisons are used to ensure that compensation is market related. As a general principle, good performers are remunerated in line with the market median, with high achievers and exceptional performers being rewarded towards the market upper quartile.
The Remuneration Committee had two meetings during the period under review. The record of attendance is contained in the table below.
