Bonuses (Option A) are often linked to short-term key performance indicators (KPIs), including financial, operational, and ESG performance metrics. Many companies now include ESG-related KPIs (e.g., carbon footprint reduction, diversity targets, safety records) in executive bonus structures.
Option B (Pension benefits) are generally not tied to annual KPIs but rather long-term service and contribution levels.
Option C (Share-linked incentives) are usually linked to long-term performance metrics, not annual targets.
