As métricas de desempenho ESG e a remuneração variável dos administradores executivos de sociedades cotadas

  • Daniel Macedo Ferreira (Student)

Student thesis: Master's Thesis

Abstract

This thesis explores the integration of ESG criteria into corporate governance, focussing on directors' variable remuneration. It consists of three chapters: analysing variable pay as a crucial governance tool that aligns interests, examining the origin and integration of ESG factors in directors' remuneration, and advocating for its positive and natural development. Integrating ESG metrics incentivises long-term value and sustainability. In short, ESG integration does not inherently cause agency problems, indeed it may even mitigate agency problems.
