Specialist Remuneration Advisory Services
Designed for JSE-listed companies and selected private organisations, our services deliver independent, evidence-based remuneration counsel to Boards and Remuneration Committees — free from management advisory conflicts.
01RemCo Advisory Services
We serve as independent remuneration advisers to Boards and Remuneration Committees, providing objective guidance on executive remuneration design, variable pay proposals, and related governance. We support RemCo Chairs in preparing for shareholder engagement — delivering depth, continuity, and credibility across every engagement.
02Board & RemCo Training
We design and deliver tailored director-level training on remuneration governance, policy, and practice. Delivered by our partners with deep executive reward experience, our programmes strengthen RemCo members’ capability to fulfil their oversight responsibilities with confidence — reducing governance risk and improving the quality of Board-level remuneration decisions.
03Remuneration Report Review
Before your remuneration report reaches shareholders, we provide an independent pre-publication review — assessing governance and regulatory compliance, pay-for-performance alignment, and disclosure quality. We identify contentious features and close disclosure gaps before they attract adverse shareholder response or undermine the credibility of RemCo recommendations.
04Senior Reward Role Screening
Appointing a Head of Reward is a governance-critical decision. We provide independent screening and assessment of senior reward leadership candidates — evaluating executive remuneration expertise, Board advisory experience, and the judgement required to operate with independence and professionalism under stakeholder scrutiny.

Every remuneration advisory engagement follows a structured methodology that ensures clarity, rigour, and governance-aligned outcomes from the first meeting to the final report.
Discovery
We begin with in-depth conversations where we listen carefully, to deeply understand your governance structure, current remuneration framework, RemCo challenges, and the regulatory and stakeholder context in which you operate. No assumptions — only the right questions.
Diagnosis
We assess your remuneration policies, incentive structures, and disclosure practices against regulatory requirements, governance best practice, and market positioning — identifying risks and opportunities before they become shareholder concerns.
Design
We develop clear, practical and governance-aligned remuneration recommendations — from policy and incentive design to disclosure frameworks and stakeholder engagement positioning — tailored to your organisation’s strategy, sector, and Board context.
Delivery
Our mandate extends beyond the written report — we remain available to the RemCo Chair and Board throughout the engagement.
