nordic board index 2016 1

ForewordThe Spencer Stuart 2016 Nordic Board Index is an annual study which analyses aspects of board governance, including board composition, committees and director remuneration, among major listed companies. First published 30 years ago in the US, there are now Board Indexes in 18 countries around the world.

The Nordic Board Index analyses 125 of the largest listed companies in the region which comprise the following indices: OMX Copenhagen (25 companies), OMX Helsinki (25 companies), OBX (25 companies), OMX Stockholm (50 companies). Our purpose is to provide business leaders with a snapshot of current practice on boards across the region.

In our analysis we examine year-on-year changes on a wide range of measures, from board size and diversity to director commitments and remuneration. We also compare Nordic companies with their counterparts in other countries, both in Europe and the US. We include a chart showing how different boards in different countries compare on key governance parameters, and conclude the Board Index with tables showing detailed information on all 125 featured companies.

We hope you find this edition of the Nordic Board Index useful. The latest edition of each Spencer Stuart Board Index can be found on our website, (www.spencerstuart.com/board-indexes) alongside a wide range of other publications covering board and corporate governance issues.

Highlights of the 2016 Nordics Board Index

womeN oN BoardsThe percentage of women sitting on boards across the region has risen slightly from 2015 (32.5%), although the range is surprisingly wide, ranging from 25.7% in Denmark to 44.1% in Norway. The latter remains the world leader in this regard, having implemented legal measures more than 10 years ago. For further detail, see page 8.

New directorsThe percentage of new non-executive directors appointed to the board has increased from 12% last year. Of these, 41.6% were women; in Norway that figure was 44.4%. In Denmark, 37% of new directors were women, rising from 31% in 2015. The proportion of new appointees on Danish boards who were foreign decreased from 50% to 37%. For further detail, see page 12.

womeN oN executive committeesSweden and Norway continue to have the highest representation of women on executive committees across Europe, at 22% and 20% respectively. While the Nordic region is renowned for the level of female representation on its companies’ boards, there is still work to be done in terms of the pipeline of future board directors. In Denmark for example the number of women on executive committees is a lowly 12%, somewhat behind its Nordic peers. For more detail, see the International Comparison chart on pages 22-27.

director remuNeratioNThe average retainer fee paid to non-executive directors across the region was €49,222 in 2015, virtually unchanged from the previous year. Sweden has the highest average retainer at €53,151, followed by Finland at €52,956 and Denmark at €50,839. Non-executive directors serving on Norwegian boards continue to receive the lowest retainer fee, at €31,208 markedly below the other countries in the region. For further details of total remuneration, including attendance and committee fees, see page 15.

Board meetiNgsThe average number of scheduled board meetings held across the region is unchanged from last year at 9.9. The average number of meetings in Denmark is 8.6, in Finland 12.2, in Norway 10 and in Sweden 9.2. The level of disclosure varies across the region: some companies break down the total number of meetings in the past year into scheduled vs. ad hoc and in person vs. conference calls. See page 18.

ageThe average age of all board directors in the Nordic region remains steady at 57 years. Denmark and Finland share near-identical averages, at 58.0 and 58.1 years respectively. Norway’s board directors are still the region’s youngest, averaging 55.5 years. Switzerland has the oldest board directors in Europe, with an average age of 61.1 years. Russia’s are the youngest, at an average 53.6 years. See page 12.

Our survey approachThe purpose of this survey is to review and analyse board structures at the largest companies across the Nordic region, noting changes to the data from previous years and identifying trends.

The 2016 Nordic Board Index covers the 25 largest listed companies by market capitalisation in Denmark (OMX Copenhagen), Finland (OMX Helsinki) and Norway (OBX), and the 50 largest listed companies in Sweden (OBX Stockholm) at May 2016.

In Denmark, Simcorp has dropped out of the top 25 companies and its place has been taken by DFDS. In Finland, Caverion has been replaced by Sponda. In Norway, four companies have dropped out of the top 25: Akastor, Aker Solutions, Norwegian Energy Company and Subsea 7. They have been replaced by AF Gruppen, Austevoll Seafood, Norwegian Air Shuttle and Tomra Systems. In Sweden, three companies dropped out of the top 50: Ericsson, Ratos and SSAB. They have been replaced by Autoliv, Fingerprint Cards and Pandox.

In our analysis we have split out non-executive directors from employee representatives serving on boards. Unless specifically stated, we have excluded employee representatives from our analysis.

The remuneration data covered in this Board Index is for 2015.


Board composition

Board siZeDenmark continues to have the largest boards in the region when employee representatives are included, with an average of 10 directors. If we exclude these directors, then Finland and Sweden have the largest boards with an average of eight directors.

While it is common for employee representatives to sit on boards in Denmark, Norway and Sweden, of the 25 Finnish companies in our sample, only two of them (Tieto and Valmet) have such a role on their board. Conversely, in Denmark just two companies (Pandora and DSV) of the 25 in our sample have no employee representatives on their board. Rules governing the proportion of employee representatives among directors vary from country to country. Corporate governance codes in all four countries require companies to detail in their annual reports policies regarding employee representatives.

tHe roles oF cHairmaN aNd cHieF executiveIn Nordic countries, the roles of chairman and chief executive have traditionally been separate. However, a new entrant in our sample, Sweden’s Autoliv, does combine these roles. Given its history as a Swedish/American merger, this is perhaps unsurprising — 52% of S&P 500 companies continue to combine the role. The combined role still exists in listed companies in Spain (66%), France (55%) and Italy (18%). Interestingly, the number of companies where the chairman and CEO roles are combined increased in Spain in the past year, but fell in France.

iNdepeNdeNceDue to the low number of executives serving on Nordic boards, the region has a notably high percentage of independent directors at 72%. Finland has the most independent directors at 83%, followed by Norway at 80%, Denmark at 66% and Sweden at 64%. In Europe, only Switzerland, at 88%, has a higher percentage of independent directors on the board. The comparable figure in the US is 84%.

Diversity

womeN oN BoardsThe Nordic region continues to lead the way with regard to female representation on boards. Three of the four countries under review saw a slight increase on last year’s figures, the exception being Finland, unchanged at 30%.

Women on boards


Percentage of women among all board directors (except employee representatives)

26% 30% 44% 36%

Percentage of companies with at least one woman on board

96% 100% 100% 98%

Only two companies in the region have an all-male board — Axis Communications (Sweden) and Rockwool International (Denmark), as of 31 May 2016. The percentage of companies in Denmark that have at least one woman on the board has increased from 88% last year to 96% in 2016.

As in previous years, Norway has the highest percentage of women on boards globally, at 44%. In France, the number of female board appointments continues to rise in the wake of legislation and is now the second-highest in Europe at 39%. The topic of legal quotas continues to be debated, and while hugely successful in Norway and France, implementation of a similar mandate in Germany has not yielded the same results. Over the past three years, the percentage of female non-executive directors on German boards has increased only slightly, from 23.8% to 26.2%. This remains some way short of Germany’s mandatory 30% target by 1 January 2016.

The proportion of female chairmen in Norway has increased to 12% in 2016, and is the highest in Europe, followed by Spain (10%) and Italy (8%). However the numbers in the other Nordic countries remain low, yet are comparable to the rest of Europe — Finland and Sweden are both at 4%, and Denmark has no female chairmen.

womeN oN executive committeesThe number of women holding positions on executive committees (ExCos) remains on a par with last year. Sweden continues to have the highest proportion of female ExCo members in Europe at 22%, with Norway only slightly behind at 20%. Denmark, at 12%, continues to lag in this regard, although it has improved slightly from last year’s figure of 10%. The only other European country that comes close to matching the Nordic region is the UK, which this year sees 18% of women holding ExCo positions. Conversely, Italy (6%), Switzerland (7%), Germany and the Netherlands (both 9%) continue to linger at the low end of the spectrum, as the chart below shows.

ForeigN directorsThe percentage of shareholder-elected board directorships in the Nordic region held by foreign directors is 32%. The figure is greatest in Finland where it has risen from 26% in 2014 to 41% in 2016, and Denmark also has a high number of foreign directors, at 39%. Both countries have now overtaken the Netherlands (36%) on this metric and only Switzerland, at 60%, has more international diversity on its boards. More than one-third of all new directors in Denmark, Finland and Norway are foreign, and in Sweden the proportion is just under one quarter. In France, more than half of new directors appointed in the previous 12 months were non-nationals.

diversity

spencer stuart10

While many foreign directors on Nordic company boards are nationals of other Nordic countries, there are no Finnish directors serving on Norwegian boards. Boards in Sweden are the most homogenous, with native Swedes occupying 75% of board seats. Finland has the most international boards; 19% of directors come from other Nordic countries and 23% of directors are from outside the region.

New directors, age and length of service

New directorsThe Nordic region saw a rise in the number of new directors appointed, with 16% of all non-executive directors appointed to the board in the past year, up from 12%. In Norway and Sweden, 18% of directors are new to the role, the latter seeing a 100% increase on the previous year, as the table below shows.

New women directors 2014 21% 21% 38% 58%



New foreign directors 2014 43% 43% 44% 39%



The proportion of new female directors appointed in Sweden declined from 57% to 42% but still represents the third-highest in Europe, behind Belgium and France. Across the Nordic region, women accounted for more than one-third of all new board appointments, mirroring every other European country in our survey with the exception of the UK (29%), Spain (23%) and Russia (12%).

The Nordics continue to appoint many directors from the foreign talent pool, although Denmark and Sweden both saw their proportion drop by 13% and 27% respectively.

ageThe average age of all board directors in the Nordics is 57 years, unchanged from last year. Norwegian directors remain the second-youngest in Europe, at 55.5 years, an average of two years younger than their counterparts in Denmark, Finland and Sweden. Russia’s boards are again Europe’s youngest, at 53.6 years. The average age of chairmen across the region is 61.8 years.

leNgtH oF serviceThe average tenure of board directors (including chairmen) is one of the lowest in Europe at 5.2 years. Only directors in Russia (3.4) and the UK (4.9) have a shorter tenure. Directors in Sweden again have the longest tenure in the region with an average of 5.8 years.

Tenure of chairmen in the region, in role as opposed to initial election to the board, is 5.6 years. Chairmen in Sweden have the longest tenure, at 6.1 years.

Eighty percent of Danish companies now impose a mandatory retirement age, the average being 70.4 years.

For the first time, we also analysed CEO tenure, irrespective of whether the person holding the role sits on the board or not. The average tenure seen in the region is 5.6 years, with tenure in Denmark the longest, at 6.4 years. The average tenure of CEOs in the UK is 5.3 years.

Remuneration

cHairmeNThe average annual remuneration for board chairmen in the Nordic countries was €136,247 in 2015, up from €125,867 in 2014. The highest-paid chairmen are in Denmark where the average total remuneration was €191,748, an increase on €141,096 paid in 2014. Norway is the only country that saw a decrease in compensation and, at €73,057, has the lowest-paid chairmen, not only in the Nordics but in the whole of Europe.

Chairmen in Switzerland received an average total remuneration of €2,148,264, the highest in Europe by a long way. Chairmen serving in Italy were the next highest remunerated with €920,000. In the UK average remuneration was €508,337 and in the US €340,209.

Retainer fees vary greatly across the region and, indeed, among companies within each country. The ranges in fees are shown in the table below. Sweden again records the largest variance, with the lowest-paid chairman receiving a retainer of €17,110 and the highest-paid receiving €347,553.

NoN-executive directorsThe average retainer fee paid to the region’s non-executive directors is €49,222, very close to the previous year’s figure of €49,318. Non-executive directors in Sweden received the highest retainer at €53,151, but there is very little to choose between Finland, Denmark and Sweden. Norway is slightly anomalous with by far the lowest average retainer of €31,208.

For the first time, this year we also looked at total fees paid including meeting attendance and committee membership fees. The average annual total remuneration of non-executive directors in the region was €64,763 in 2015. Taking into account these additional payments, Danish non-executive directors receive the highest total annual remuneration at €78,673, followed by Sweden at €69,191 and Finland at €66,958, with Norway again having the lowest figure at €43,729.

In the UK during the same period, the average retainer of non-executive directors in the top 150 companies was €88,154 (the average total fee was €120,066). For a comparison of retainer and committee fees across Europe and the US, see the chart on pages 22-27.

Fixed vs. atteNdaNce FeesAll four countries under review generally pay a fixed fee for board work for both chairmen and board directors. In Finland, 80% of companies pay additional fees for meeting attendance, whereas this is less common in other Nordic countries. Meeting attendance fees vary greatly and are influenced by whether board members reside in the Nordics or elsewhere.


remuNeratioN paid eitHer Fully or partly iN sHaresIn Finland, it is common practice for board directors to be remunerated partly in shares. Of the 83% of companies who do so, 63% mandate that directors must take 40% of their fee in shares. Shares are not used for remuneration in Norwegian companies, and the practice is rarely seen in Denmark and Sweden.

The following table shows total fees paid to directors in a select group of countries where this data is readily available.

Board meetings and committees

Board meetiNgsThe average number of scheduled board meetings held by Nordic companies is 9.9 per annum. Finnish companies convene the most frequently, with 12.2 meetings in 2015, while Danish companies had the fewest at 8.6. If ad-hoc “per capsulam” meetings are included, the total number of board meetings across all countries averages 11.3 per year, although not all companies disclose the format of meetings.

committeesNordic boards have an average of 2.2 committees, the same level as last year. Seven companies in our sample have no board committees, instead choosing to fulfil these duties collectively as a board.

Audit and remuneration/compensation are the most common committees. All companies in Finland have an audit committee; in Denmark and Norway one company operates without, while in Sweden, eight companies do not have this committee, electing instead for the whole board to act in this capacity.

Board commitmeNtsAcross the Nordic region, board directors sit on average on a total of 2.2 listed company boards, unchanged from last year. The figure is close to those of the US (2.1), Switzerland, (2.1) and the UK (1.9). Italian and German directors have the highest number of public board seats at an average of 3.3 and 2.8 respectively. The average number of foreign boards per director in the Nordics is 0.6.

Board evaluatioN 95% of the companies featured in this 2016 Nordic Board Index undertook a board evaluation during the financial year covered by this report. However, of these only 17% were conducted by an external provider, albeit an increase from 8% in the previous year. Six companies do not disclose their board evaluation procedure.

The UK continues to lead the way in this regard with 43% of companies undergoing an external board evaluation in 2015, by far the highest proportion in Europe, with Italy (29%) and France (23%) following behind.
