Remunerati<strong>on</strong> committees need to become much more independent.<br />
Traditi<strong>on</strong>ally, committees have ‘reacted’ to proposals put to them by<br />
management. In the future, remunerati<strong>on</strong> committees need to be proactive in<br />
determining remunerati<strong>on</strong> structure and principles for senior <strong>executive</strong>s. For<br />
many companies this will require n<strong>on</strong>-<strong>executive</strong> directors to have significantly<br />
greater involvement in policy setting than in the past, and far greater<br />
understanding of remunerati<strong>on</strong> complexities. To perform this role, remunerati<strong>on</strong><br />
committees will need to commissi<strong>on</strong> their own independent advisers, and not<br />
simply rely <strong>on</strong> the same remunerati<strong>on</strong> c<strong>on</strong>sultants used by management because<br />
there is too much potential for a c<strong>on</strong>flict of interest<br />
