Executive Remuneration Benchmarking for Boards

EXECUTIVE REMUNERATION BENCHMARKING FOR BOARDS

Remunera provides independent, market-backed executive pay benchmarking as a consulting engagement for boards and remuneration committees, covering fixed remuneration, incentives, and wealth-creation outcomes across comparable markets.

What Sources Should Boards Use for Executive Remuneration Benchmarking?

Australian boards should triangulate several sources rather than rely on a single survey: relevant listed-company remuneration disclosures and peer data, reputable remuneration datasets or surveys, current market intelligence, and company-specific role scope, performance, and pay history. Before roles are compared, the evidence should be normalised so fixed remuneration, STI, LTI, realised or grant values, and one-off items are treated consistently.

Remunera combines disclosure-backed peer data and other relevant market evidence with consultant review to test role comparability, peer-group relevance, pay mix, and governance context, then translates the findings into board-ready analysis and practical recommendations.

Why Executive Benchmarking Matters

Why Executive Benchmarking Matters

Executive pay decisions need evidence that is current, comparable, and defensible. We structure the market data so boards and remuneration teams can compare pay with confidence, understand the trade-offs, and explain decisions clearly.

Avoid over/under-payment risk

See where executive pay sits versus a relevant peer set before decisions are made.

Meet investor and proxy expectations

Build a defensible rationale that can stand up to shareholders, advisors, and boards.

Retain top-tier leadership talent

Use clear market evidence to stay competitive for critical executive roles.

Align pay with performance

Connect compensation outcomes to role scope, company performance, and pay mix.

Our Approach

Our Approach

We combine market matching, pay mix analysis, and board-ready outputs into one workflow so teams can move from peer selection to decision support without losing clarity or consistency.

Custom Peer Groups

Revenue, market cap, and industry matched peer groups ensure accurate benchmarking against truly comparable organizations for meaningful insights.

Whole-of-Pay Review

Comprehensive analysis covering base salary, short-term incentives, long-term incentives, and optimal pay-mix strategies for total compensation optimization.

Board-Ready Outputs

Clear, defensible, and professionally visualized reports designed for executive presentations and board-level decision making.

What We Reveal

The section below highlights the kinds of pay questions the benchmarking workflow answers, from fixed pay positioning to peer ranking and performance alignment.

CEO
Fixed Pay Analysis

Surface fixed pay positions against a matched peer set and identify where executive pay is running hot or cold.

Pay Positioning

CFO
Industry Ranking

See how total reward ranks across comparable listed companies before making compensation decisions.

Peer Comparison

CCO
Performance Alignment

Review the relationship between pay mix, performance outcomes, and long-term value creation.

Alignment Check

Our consulting work is grounded in a clear executive pay benchmarking methodology for selecting relevant peers and interpreting market evidence. Where disclosure-backed peer data is the immediate need, explore our listed-company executive compensation data service separately from the advisory engagement.

Consulting analysis for board and RemCo decisions

Remunera provides executive remuneration benchmarking as a consulting engagement for boards and remuneration committees. We select and test relevant peer groups, then position fixed remuneration, STI, LTI, and total pay against market evidence so directors can make decisions with context rather than a generic survey.

Each engagement produces a benchmarking report, board-ready analysis, and practical recommendations. We connect pay mix and performance alignment to governance, proportionality, and shareholder expectations, while stress-testing incentive scorecards, vesting conditions, and malus or clawback settings for the decision at hand.
