An increasing number of companies are considering sustainability criteria not only in the salaries of CEOs and directors, but also in the salaries of their employees as a whole to better achieve their ESG goals. We addressed this dynamic in the Garrigues Sustainable dialogues.

"Companies that try to consider sustainability criteria create an employer brand that gives them a competitive advantage when it comes to attracting and retaining talent," he noted. Eduardo Gómez de Salazar, partner of the department Human Capital Services (HCS) of Garrigues. To dive into the topic, v dialogues Garrigues Sustainable we were able to draw on the experience of the company – Acciona Energía – which has been doing it for years because sustainability is part of its DNA.

how does he do it? Ana Benita, Head of Organization, Talent and Wellbeing at Acciona Energía, explained that a significant part of the variable salary of all employees (12.5 % in 2023) is related to the achievement of the group's sustainability goals. In other words, issues such as a target for women to hold a certain percentage of management positions are not just for executives, but for the entire staff.
