As companies review their executive compensation program designs and related corporate governance policies, it can be helpful to consider current market practices and recent trends in order to inform discussions in the boardroom.
Meridian’s 2024 Corporate Governance and Incentive Design Survey offers comprehensive insights into key executive compensation and corporate governance topics relevant to companies today.
The Survey summarizes market practices at 200 large publicly traded companies across all industries (referred to herein as the “Meridian 200”). These companies have median revenues and market capitalizations of $24.8B and $41.0B, respectively, making them a representative sample of the S&P 500.
All information was gathered from annual proxy statements. Meridian has conducted a similar analysis annually since 2011, with minimal changes to the list of reviewed companies (98% of the 2024 Meridian 200 constituents were reviewed in 2023). This consistency allows us to identify emerging trends. For more details, please refer to the Profile of Survey Companies section.
