The new UK Corporate Governance Code, to take effect for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019, includes some far reaching changes, and the year ahead will be a period of review and change for many companies. Remuneration committees must look at how best to adapt to an expanded remit around workforce remuneration, as well as a greater focus on how judgment is used to ensure that pay outcomes are justified and supported by performance. Against this backdrop, 2018 has been a mixed year in the FTSE 250 executive pay environment. In terms of pay outcomes, the picture is relatively stable. Overall pay levels have fallen for FTSE 250 chief executives and we have seen continued momentum in companies adopting executive alignment features such as holding periods, as well as strengthening shareholding guidelines for executives.
