  • 1 In 2021, the calculation method of the pay ratio was changed in accordance with the Dutch Corporate Governance Code. The new calculation method is based on: i) The total annual remuneration of the CEO includes all remuneration components (such as fixed remuneration, variable remuneration in cash (bonus), the share-based part of the remuneration, social contributions, pension, expense allowance, etc.), as included in the (consolidated) financial statements on an IFRS basis. ii) The average annual remuneration of the employees is determined by dividing the total wage costs in the financial year (as included in the (consolidated) financial statements on an IFRS basis) by the average number of FTEs during the financial year. iii) Pro rato must be taken into account when hiring external employees, insofar as they are hired for at least three months during the financial year.
  • 2 The pay-ratio of 2020 excluding the extraordinary items is in accordance with the new calculation method 12.38.
  • 3 As of 2022, a.s.r. reports on the median pay ratio in order to comply with GRI 2-21 and in anticipation of the CSRD.
