The Board will select a Chairman and two deputy chairmen from among its members at its next meeting.
The Supervisory Board decided to raise the remuneration paid to the Board of Directors beginning 1 January 2018. The annual remuneration for the Chairman of the Board will be EUR 47,250 (currently EUR 45,000), for the Deputy Chairmen EUR 33,600 (currently EUR 32,000), for the members EUR 18,900 (currently EUR 18,000), and for the deputy members EUR 13,650 (currently EUR 13,000). It was also decided that the remuneration paid to the Chairman of the Audit Committee be raised to the same level as that of the Deputy Chairman of the Board of Directors, i.e. to EUR 33,600. The meeting fee for Board members remains unchanged (EUR 600).
In setting the remuneration, the increase in Board members’ duties and their growing responsibilities were taken into account. The amount of time that members spend performing their duties has grown due to, among other things, an increase in sector-specific regulation and financial-sector reporting. The role of the Chairman of the Audit Committee has grown, and the remuneration structure was changed accordingly. The last remuneration increase took place in 2013.
Board members receive annual remuneration as well as a meeting fee for attending meetings of the Board and its committees, and for Election Committee meetings. Members of the Board of Directors are insured according to Section 8 of the Employees Pensions Act (TyEL), and a TyEL contribution is paid on the meeting fee.
The Supervisory Board decided to give the Election Committee guidelines regarding the diversity of Varma’s governing bodies. The composition of Varma’s governing bodies is planned for the long term. The governing bodies must encompass a wide range of expertise, competence and experience, with both genders sufficiently represented.
