Widespread media coverage of this year’s HPC CEO Pay Report
This year’s HPC annual review of executive pay, showed median FTSE 100 CEO pay increasing for the fourth year in a row, this time to a record £4.19 million.
While the growth in CEO pay (2.2%) is smaller than in recent years, and lower than wage growth in the wider economy, the £500k+ growth in mean CEO pay from £4.42 to £4.98 million suggests that while CEO pay has been stable for many companies, the pay of CEOs at the largest companies has actually increased at a faster rate.
The report has been widely covered in the media including by BBC, Sky News, Financial Times, Guardian, Bloomberg, Mirror, the Times and Daily Mail. Guardian coverage also included a feature on why CEO pay keeps going up and an editorial calling for the issue to be tackled.
