4.1.3 Comparative information
4.1.3.1 External benchmarking exercise
At the request of the Remuneration Committee, a benchmarking exercise relating to the components of the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer’s remuneration package is conducted by an independent firm and updated on a regular basis. The aim of this exercise is to ensure that the remuneration of the Group’s top executive remains coherent and in line with market practice. The most recent update was based on the latest publicly available information relating to the 2022 financial year.
For the purposes of this exercise, the Remuneration Committee selected two representative peer groups, the first comprised of French industrial companies that are members of the CAC 40 (the “French peer group”), and the second comprised of European companies with operations in the construction sector or infrastructure concessions (the “International peer group”).
These two peer groups are as follows:
| French peer group | Air Liquide, Alstom, Bouygues, Danone, Engie, EssilorLuxottica, Legrand, L’Oréal, Michelin, Pernod Ricard, Renault, Safran, Saint-Gobain, Schneider Electric, Stellantis, TotalEnergies, Veolia |
|---|---|
| International peer group | Aéroports de Paris, Bouygues, Eiffage, Fraport, Hochtief, Strabag, ACS, Ferrovial, Skanska, Mundys (formerly Atlantia), Webuild, Atlas Arteria |
