The entire board of directors received total remuneration of CHF145.3 million for the past year, following CHF143.6 million in 2024.

The variable component of a CEO’s pay is made up of two parts: a bonus (also known as annual incentive programme or immediate variable pay) and a long-term incentive plan (also known as deferred variable pay). 

The bonus paid out to CEOs can hinge on company earnings or revenue or both.
