For example, group performance outcomes have led to discretionary downward adjustments (such as 16% applied to maximum pay-outs), and individual performance metrics directly influence short-term incentive (STIP) results—yielding percentages such as 50% to 67% of maximum for executive roles. Additionally, long-term incentive programmes (LTIP) tie share-based compensation to predefined targets encompassing commercial execution, financial outlook, and purpose.
