The vote on remuneration reports immediately showed all its strength, so that many defined the proxy season 2012 as “the shareholder spring”, analogizing the level of complaints to real revolts. Since 2012, also Italian companies have to submit their Remuneration Report to the approval of their shareholders, through the so-called “say-on-pay”. Actually, the correct definition should be “say-on-policy”, as the vote officially refers on remuneration policies to be adopted the following year, not on the actual compensation paid. The debate whether it would be more appropriate a real “say-on-pay” is still alive, but the vote on policy has the great advantage to push on higher transparency on the objectives that each company wants to reach, especially through incentive plans.
