Discusses the recommendations of the Greenbury Committee on the remune
ration of directors in public companies. Specifically comments on the
following issues: the establishment, membership and status of remunera
tion committees in public companies; the determination of remuneration
policy for executive directors; the disclosure and approval of the de
tails of remuneration policy; the length of service contracts and the
determination of compensation when these are terminated. Suggests that
progress in implementing them should be monitored, given the importan
ce of the Greenbury proposals.
