#43 - The integration of ESG into incentives with Harlan Zimmerman, Cevian Capital

“If you’re not working on the integration of ESG and incentives already, you’re lagging behind.”

Cevian made a public statement on 3 March 2021 asking for ‘significant, measurable and transparent ESG targets that should form part of senior management compensation plans for all European public companies. And therefore Cevian Capital is today calling upon European public companies to start or accelerate the development of such ESG targets for integration into compensation plans to be put to shareholder votes at the AGMs in 2022.’

My special guest this week is Harlan Zimmerman, Senior Partner at Cevian Capital, who explains the rationale behind this far-reaching statement. As you would expect from my thought-provoking podcast, I also ask Harlan how incentives are structured at Cevian for its own employees. Listen to him here.
