Rewards and benefits

Here's a sample from which you'll be able to choose depending on your country:

• Pension

• Private medical insurance

• Company car (at certain managerial levels)

• Life assurance

• Access to sport facilities

Pay for performance

As a business, we aim to grow and create shareholder value. If you help us achieve those goals, we'll reward you well. And since you help create your own objectives, you can see precisely how your actions affect the rewards you receive. There are two ways to increase your overall package.

The first is an annual bonus based on personal and business performance. Recognising the delivery of strong year-on-year profitable growth, it rewards both our collective success and your individual contribution to it. And the amount can be significant.

The second depends on your level and reflects sustained performance. It comes in the form of shares which will give you a real stake in the future success of the business. In fact, we consider it critical that senior managers build a substantial holding in order to align their interests with those of our shareholders.
