Guidance and MBO 2023 Plan

The Group’s MBO Plan, extended to approximately 2,500 managers and key resources at global level, is made up of four types of objectives connected to generating income and cash, managing ROCE or costs / efficiencies (or other specific objectives relating to each Company Function) and Sustainability/ESG.

The plan has a ON/OFF condition set in alignment with the guidance 2023 and applied to all participants to MBO. In case the threshold level is not achieved, the scheme doesn't activate, and no incentives are paid.

Guidance and MBO 2023 Plan

Scorecard MBO Plan for CEO, COO and CFO

The objectives of the Chief Executive Officer are represented by the following scheme (2023 MBO Scorecard)

The incentive payable is calculated as follows:

  • at the target level (100 points): it is 67% of fixed remuneration for the Chief Executive Officer and 50% for the other Executive Directors and MSRs;
  • at the maximum level (150 points): it is 100% of fixed remuneration for the Chief Executive Officer and the COO and 75% for the other Executive Directors and MSRs;
  • between 50 and 150 points: results are calculated in a linearly proportional manner;
  • over 150 points: application of the cap (incentive paid equal to 100% for the Chief Executive Officer and the COO and 75% for the other Executive Directors and MSRs);
  • below 50 points: incentive not paid.

For 2022, the MBO Scorecard of the other Executive Directors corresponds to that of the CEO apart from the 3rd objective, which for them is a cost management one; for the other MSRs the Adjusted EBITDA objective is defined according to the Business Division to which they belong.

This set up limits the risk of overlap of targets between MBO and LTI Plans. 15%) based on the individual performance deriving from the "P3" performance management system (not applicable to the CEO).

ESG KPIS IN MBO 2023 PLAN

 

In compliance with the overall structure of the MBO Plan envisaged, an evolution in the structure of the ESG objective is introduced for the current year, consistent with the Social Ambition 2030 and inspired by a greater focus on three fundamental dimensions: security, gender balance, environment.

An indicator on circular economy and the use of recycled materials is introduced and the structure and weight of the safety-oriented indicator is reinforced. The safety assessment program represents an innovation, introducing the use of both lagging and leading indicators and putting at the center of the assessment, the real actions that are being carried out in the 112 plants of the group.

This translates into the Group diagrams in a scorecard that you find below in detail:
