Comparison of the remuneration of CEOs of selected listed companies and GPW

Report for the Warsaw Stock Exchange 23 June 2025

Assumptions

Korn Ferry (KF) has been requested by the Warsaw Stock Exchange (GPW) to benchmark the remuneration of its CEO to that of the CEOs of selected foreign companies, EEA members in FESE (Federation of European Securities Exchanges), as well as selected domestic companies representing the financial industry participating in the mWIG40 and sWIG80 indices.

• The sample of EEA members in FESE was limited to 4 due to the unavailability of data for the other top 10 companies. In the case of the Bucharest Stock Exchange, only aggregate base salary data for 2 members of the Management Board (CEO and Board Member) were available, which was considered to also represent the Total Remuneration (TR); it was assumed that the Total Remuneration should be divided in half.
• The data for the companies are for 2023 for the sake of completeness. This is because some data for 2024 are not yet available on an aggregate basis, e.g. the Stock Exchange Yearbook; as we are interested in comparing the order of those numbers, we assume that consequently the difference of one year is insignificant.
• Data for foreign companies has been converted into PLN at the exchange rate: EUR/PLN = 4.25 and RON/PLN = 0.85. Purchasing power parity has not been taken into account, assuming that recruitment at the level of the management boards of the selected exchanges includes candidates from all over Europe. Although we do not find this to be the prevailing practice in companies with predominantly Polish capital, it is still followed, and we therefore adopt this as a standard to ensure uniformity of comparison.
• The study has been prepared on the basis of annual reports and remuneration reports published by the companies.
• Remuneration is presented on an annual basis.
