Remuneration Report

YIT Corporation's Remuneration Report for 2024
YIT Corporation's Remuneration Report is based on the Finnish Corporate Governance Code 2025 of the Securities Market Association and provides the details of the remuneration paid to members of the Board of Directors, President and CEO, and his Deputy.
The remuneration of the Board of Directors and the President and CEO followed the principles of the YIT Remuneration Policy 2020–2023 approved at the Annual General Meeting on 12 March 2020 up until 13 March 2024 and from there onwards YIT Remuneration Policy 2024-2027 approved at the Annual Genera Meeting on 14 March 2024.
The aim of the Remuneration Policy is to strengthen YIT's competitiveness, long-term financial success and sustainable shareholder value creation by attracting, retaining and motivating talents to drive YIT's strategy. Remuneration is performance-based, transparent, fair and promotes behaviors aligned with the desired YIT culture.
The strategic priorities and the Remuneration Policy are the basis for the elements of our remuneration. Base pay and benefits are at a competitive level to recruit, motivate and retain talents. The level of these elements is benchmarked regularly with market practices. The short-term and long-term incentive plans support increasing shareholder value, driving financial performance and strategic transformation, as well as success with our customers and sustainability-related targets.
Based on 2024 performance, no short-term incentive payments are made. With long-term incentive plan (LTIP) and earning periods 2022– 2024, 2023–2025 and 2024–2026 the KPI performance development has been modest. Of the LTIP KPIs of different earning periods, sustainability metrics (Science Based Target initiative, scope 1-2 for 2022-2024 and for 2023-2025 and scope 1-3 for 2024-2026) have developed positively as in previous years, whereas absolute TSR metrics have remained below their target levels.
The Board has made on 9 February 2023 and 19 December 2023 interim exceptions as defined under the Remuneration Policy by introducing a separate, fixed-term incentive plan for years 2023 and 2024 related to the company's strategic transformation program. This incentive plan applies to the President and CEO and other key persons.
REMUNERATION DEVELOPMENT
YIT's strategy emphasises growth and resilience, industry-leading profitability and return on assets and customer focused value creation for our stakeholders. Development in the area of sustainability has been supported with the means of remuneration for a long time already. According to our Code of Conduct we recruit employees based on their competence and potential, focus on work safety and support our employees' well-being and development on the long term.
