Group-wide regu­lation of remuneration systems

Modifications of the remuneration rules in the group context by IVV 4.0 and EBA Guidelines on Sound Remuneration Policies 2.0

The revised version of the Remuneration Ordinance for Institutions (Institutsvergütungsverordnung, IVV 4.0) and the revised EBA Guidelines on Sound Remuneration Policies (EBA/GL/2021/04, GSR 2.0), which came into force on 31 December 2021, include a modification of the requirements for the group-wide regulation of remuneration systems, which affected institutions must take as an opportunity to update their group-wide remuneration strategy. In this Client Alert, we discuss the revised regulatory requirements and initial practical experience with their implementation.
