More detail
This non-binding management proposal asks shareholders to approve Chevron’s executive compensation program as disclosed in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis and related tables. Management seeks this advisory endorsement to confirm stockholder support for its pay philosophy: competitive pay aligned to market peers, a balance of short- and long-term incentives, pay-for-performance tied to absolute and relative measures (including TSR and ROCE), and governance features (stock ownership guidelines, clawback provisions, and independent committee oversight). The Board emphasizes that most executive pay is at risk and linked to multi-year performance through LTIP instruments and annual incentives tied to Company metrics including financial results, capital and cost management, operational and safety performance, and lower-carbon objectives. The Board also notes that the company engaged in robust stockholder outreach and received 94.0% support on the prior say-on-pay, using that feedback in program design and disclosure. The recommendation to vote FOR is grounded in the Board’s view that these programs align management incentives with long-term shareholder value while maintaining retention and market competitiveness. The proposal is advisory only, and the Board and Management Compensation Committee will consider the vote outcome when making future compensation decisions. The Board’s rationale highlights the role of independent oversight by the Management Compensation Committee, use of an independent compensation consultant, and risk-management controls to avoid incentives that could encourage excessive risk-taking. In sum, the proposal is a standard annual say-on-pay vote seeking ratification of the disclosed compensation approach and supporting governance processes.
