The SGRPT Committee ensures that the remuneration for Directors and Key Executives is consistent with the Group’s culture, strategy, and business policies. Guided by the Aboitiz Compensation Philosophy, factors such as individual and organizational performance, and inflation, among others, are taken into account to ensure that the compensation structure will attract, retain, and engage the best talents to contribute to the success of the business. Each year, the results of the study are presented, discussed, and approved during the first meeting of the SGRPT Committee.

 

In a transparent and collaborative process, the results of this comprehensive study are presented, discussed, and subject to approval during the first meeting of the ESCG Committees of both companies each year. This practice not only emphasizes the commitment to fair and equitable compensation but also underscores the proactive and strategic approach taken to align remuneration practices with the Group’s evolving objectives. Through these deliberative measures, the ESCG Committees actively contribute to fostering a work environment that values and rewards excellence while reinforcing the Group’s commitment to sustainable success.

 

In 2023, the Directors of AEV and AboitizPower were entitled to the following compensation:

Other than the directors’ per diem and monthly allowance, there are no other standard arrangements under which directors are compensated or to be compensated. In no case has each Board’s total yearly compensation exceeded 10% of their respective company’s net income before income tax of the preceding year.

 

The Board of Directors do not participate in discussions or deliberations involving his/her own remuneration. Thus, the shareholders approve all proposed changes in Board remuneration and disclosed to the public in a timely manner through PSE and SEC disclosures and the Company’s Annual Report (SEC Form 17-A). The Company believes that the information provided in the disclosures provide sufficient information on director and executive remuneration, while maintaining the privacy of the individuals concerned in compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
