Linking Climate Transition and Executive Compensation

November 2021

Climate transition, emissions reduction and renewable energy adoption are becoming increasingly important for companies around the world. It is critical for board and compensation committee members to understand how to meaningfully embed climate and climate risk into executive compensation frameworks.

Climate Risk and Resilience

Willis Towers Watson has been collaborating with the Climate Governance Initiative, a global network which helps boards incorporate a climate lens into all relevant aspects of their oversight functions, by applying the World Economic Forum's Principles for Effective Climate Governance. Together, we have developed a guidebook on how to link climate priorities with executive compensation. The guidebook presents our research findings, views of non-executive directors and investors and our latest thinking on how to incorporate climate metrics across a number of key industries.

To launch our research findings and guidebook, we hosted two events to accommodate different time zones – both had the same 30-minute overview presentation, followed by a one hour panel session with non-executive director and investor guest speakers.

Replays from each webcast are available below.


Session #1 – Opening remarks – Asia and Europe
