Remuneration Policy
Management Board
The remuneration policy for the members of the Management Board of Nuon is designed to help recruit, motivate and retain expert and motivated Management Board members in order to realise the company’s long-term objectives.
The general remuneration policy is adopted by the General Meeting of Shareholders upon the proposal of the Supervisory Board.
