Our reward policies are in line with our Human Rights and Ethical Trading commitments and are shaped by business objectives. They are aimed at both motivating our people and providing fair remuneration, with rewards linked to individual and business performance.
Our reward policies are designed to meet the needs of the particular labour markets in which we operate and are competitive locally. At the same time, they comply with or exceed our global Human Resources Standards. For example, our businesses adhere to global guidelines on retirement and related benefits plans. At a global level, we aim to facilitate international movement and management development. Naturally, in all our markets we comply with statutory minimum pay provisions.
Our share plans are promoted to eligible employees every year (around 49%). Of these, 40% choose to participate yearly.
