Institutional Shareholder Services Releases White Paper on Evaluating Pay for Performance

In response to investor feedback on the issue of pay-for performance, which indicated a preference for putting the focus on long-term alignment, board decision-making, and pay relative to both market peers and to absolute shareholder returns, Institutional Shareholder Services has published a white paper detailing a new approach to evaluating pay-for-performance in 2012 for U.S. companies. It comprises an initial quantitative assessment and, as appropriate, an in-depth qualitative review to determine either the likely cause of a perceived long-term disconnect between pay and performance, or factors that mitigate the initial assessment.
