Each member of the Committee is considered to possess the knowledge and experience in human resources and compensation matters to positively contribute to the Committee’s work. All members have experience in compensation matters as former or current CEOs or senior executive officers. Further details on individual Committee members’ relevant skills and experience is provided in the 2024 Management Proxy Circular.
In 2023, the Committee met four times, with 100% attendance at the meetings. In addition, at each Committee meeting the members held sessions without management present.
In making its decisions relating to compensation, the Committee may obtain advice from consultants with expertise in this area. The Committee and Board consider the advice received from consultants and ultimately, make their own decisions about these matters. Meridian Compensation Partners acts as the independent advisor for the Board and the Committee for matters relating to director and executive compensation. The services provided by Meridian Compensation Partners to the Committee and Finning are explained in more detail in the 2024 Management Proxy Circular.
