5. 2023 Consolidated Financial Statements

d) Remuneration

The variable portion of the Chief Executive Officer’s current remuneration incorporates quantitative and qualitative nonfinancial objectives, including objectives associated with the L’Oréal for the Future programme. Since 2016, non-financial objectives in line with the Group’s goals for sustainability have been included in the variable remuneration of the top management, including international brand managers and country managers.

For the conditional grant of free shares, plans since 2022 stipulate the fulfilment of non-financial performance criteria, of which:

  • the fulfilment of environmental and social responsibility commitments made by the Group as part of the L’Oréal for the Future programme;
  • gender balance within strategic positions including the Executive Committee.

At 31 December 2023, these performance conditions of an extra-financial nature were deemed achieved.
