加拿大皇家银行将气候因素纳入高管激励计划中
据ESG Today 3月6日报道，加拿大皇家银行（RBC）计划从2023年起在高级管理人员的中期激励（MTI）和长期激励（LTI）计划中增加一个基于气候的中期目标。在纳入新目标之前，该银行已经将气候相关因素和其他环境、社会和治理相关因素（ESG）纳入其高管薪酬计划的设计中，以改进领导层在推动积极变化方面的责任。当天，加拿大皇家银行发布了2022年ESG业绩报告、2022年气候报告和2022年公共责任声明（PAS），其中概述了该银行在遵循ESG原则、管理气候相关风险和机会以及为加拿大经济和社会作出贡献方面的战略和进展。
新的基于气候的目标与RBC气候蓝图的战略重点相联系。例如，它的战略重点包括通过促成5,000亿美元的可持续融资和扩大与气候相关的产品和服务，以帮助客户过渡到净零排放，还包括通过研究气候问题和政策以及支持气候知识的普及，为可持续的未来提供咨询和启发。RBC更新了激励计划，因为它认识到气候变化是其股东和其他利益相关者越来越重要的考虑因素。它希望新加入的气候调节因素能够为首席执行官(CEO)和集团高管(GE)提供额外的激励，通过创新和与政府、企业和个人的合作，加速RBC在关键优先事项上的进展，以推动全球实现净零目标。
RBC Incorporates Climate Considerations into Incentive Plans for Senior Executives
On March 6, ESG Today reported that the Royal Bank of Canada (RBC) plans to introduce a medium-term climate-based objective to its mid-term incentive (MTI) and long-term incentive (LTI) programs for senior executives from 2023. This addition is part of RBC's ongoing efforts to incorporate environmental, social, and governance-related (ESG) considerations into its executive compensation program and improve leadership accountability in advancing positive change. Prior to this new objective, RBC had already incorporated climate-related considerations into its executive compensation program. On the same day, RBC published its 2022 ESG Performance Report, 2022 Climate Report, and 2022 Public Accountability Statements (PAS), which outlined the bank's strategies and progress in complying with ESG principles, managing climate-related risks and opportunities, and contributing to the Canadian economy and society.
The new climate-based objective aligns with RBC's strategic priorities, as outlined in the RBC Climate Blueprints. It aims to facilitate USD500bn in sustainable financing to help clients transition to net zero, expand climate-related products and services, and support climate literacy through research and education. RBC recognizes that climate change is an increasingly important consideration for its shareholders and stakeholders, and expects the new climate modifier to provide an additional incentive for the CEO and Group Executives (GE) to accelerate progress on key priorities through innovation and collaborations with governments, businesses, and individuals to facilitate global progress towards net-zero targets.
