Directors’ fees

For the work in the Audit Committee, the Chairman receives a fee of SEK 111 500 and the Directors receive a fee of SEK 84 500 per Director.

For the work in the Remuneration Committee, the Chairman receives a fee of SEK 61 800 and the Directors receive a fee of SEK 46 300 per Director.

No fee is received by Directors employed at the government offices or to employee representatives.

Remuneration of senior executives

The Annual General meeting of Vattenfall AB has adopted guidelines for remuneration to senior executives. These Guidelines are based on the Swedish Government Offices' principles, which form part of the Swedish State’s ownership policy, with one deviation as to how the principles are applied in Vattenfall’s subsidiaries. This deviation means that instead of the definition of senior executive in the Government Office’s principles, senior executives shall be defined on the basis of whether they have a significant impact on the Group’s earnings, through use of the International Position Evaluation (IPE) model. Managers with positions of IPE 68 and higher are to be considered as senior executives. The Board’s explanation for this deviation is stated in the Guidelines.
