Sustainable Governance
Executive Remuneration Policy
Arizon ESG-Linked Leadership Incentive Guiding Principle
I. Purpose
To fulfill Arizon’s commitment to sustainable development, the Company encourages senior executives to demonstrate leadership through active participation in environmental, social, and governance (ESG) initiatives. This Guiding Principle integrates such engagement and contribution into annual performance reviews and variable compensation considerations to support the Company’s long-term, sustainable growth.
II. Scope
This Guiding Principle applies to the Chairperson, Chief Executive Officer, President, Vice Presidents, and other senior executives of equivalent rank.
III. ESG-Related Performance Evaluation Dimensions
Depending on each executive’s role and annual business priorities, one or more of the following ESG dimensions may be incorporated into performance evaluation and goal setting:
- Environment: Achievements in energy conservation and carbon reduction, process optimization, waste reduction and recycling, green supply chain management, and resource efficiency.
- Social: Efforts in employee well-being, occupational health and safety, talent development, diversity and inclusion, community engagement, and social impact initiatives.
- Governance: Leadership in ethical business practices, internal control and risk management, information security, sustainability disclosure, and stakeholder engagement.
IV. Remuneration Linkage and Principles
Executive compensation includes both fixed and variable components.
Variable compensation (such as annual or special bonuses) is determined based on overall business performance, individual contributions, and sustainability-related performance.
Within this evaluation framework, ESG-related objectives serve as one of the key factors influencing variable-pay outcomes, generally carrying an indicative influence of approximately 10%–20%.
The actual influence may vary depending on the executive’s role, annual business priorities, and the Company’s sustainability focus for the year.
The Sustainability Committee will review each executive’s leadership, engagement, and impact in ESG-related areas and provide recommendations for consideration by the Compensation Committee and approval by the Board of Directors.
This approach is intended to encourage senior leaders to integrate sustainability considerations into management practices and decision-making to support long-term value creation.
