In 2024, the maximum level of remuneration available in the CEO’s short- term incentive system was 75% of the fixed annual base salary, accounting for Metsä Group’s EBIT multiplier. In 2024, the CEO’s short-term incentive was EUR 0, as the short-term incentive system’s performance indicator (Metsä Group’s EBIT) did not exceed the threshold. In 2024, the CEO’s sustainability targets were related to occupational safety and strategic programmes, the goals of which include reducing fossil-based CO 2 emissions, promoting the use of fossil-free raw materials and reducing process water use in production. The weighting of the CEO’s occupational safety target was 10%, and its realisation was 132%. The 2023 short-term incentive system was based on the same principles as in 2024. The CEO’s short-term incentive was EUR 84,509. The incentive was paid in March 2024.

E – Environment

1) Approximately half the remuneration has been paid as the company’s B series shares, and approximately half in cash. The cash portion has covered the taxes to be charged from the remuneration. The figures shown in the table do not include the portion of transfer tax paid by the company. 2) Voluntary TyEL pension (the Finnish employee’s statutory pension system) insurance has been taken out for the members of the Board of Directors until they reach the required upper age limit. 3) The Chair of the Audit Committee has also been paid a monthly remuneration of EUR 900 every month.

G – Governance

1) The targets are assessed on a scale of 0–200, where 100% means that target is reached. 2) The short-term incentive, taking Metsä Group’s EBIT multiplier into account. For 2024, no performance bonus was paid as the incentive system’s threshold value was not reached. In 2023, the actual EBIT multiplier was 0.82.
