The remuneration report sets out the structure, the basic features and the amount of the remuneration payable to members of the Executive Board and Supervisory Board. It forms part of the Group management report and takes account of the recommendations of the German Corporate Governance Code. The remuneration report also contains the information about the remuneration of the Executive Board which is legally required under the provisions of the German Commercial Code (HGB). This information is therefore not repeated in the Notes to the Group financial statements.
