Proxy Report - 07/06/2018
Le principal sujet de cette assemblée est le renouvellement de M. de Chalendar. Proxinvest regrette vivement que le Président n'ait pas restauré le principe "Une Action - Une Voix". Cependant, nous notons les progrès mis en place en termes de gouvernance : le conseil est désormais majoritairement indépendant (57% selon Proxinvest) et un administrateur référent indépendant (M. Sénard) a été nommé en juin 2017. Ce sont ces améliorations ainsi que les performances du groupe d'un point de vue environnemental qui nous incitent à soutenir son renouvellement. Notons toutefois que le cours de Saint-Gobain a sous-performé le CAC40 depuis que M. de Chalendar est Directeur Général (et sur les 5 dernières années, il sous-performe de 20% le secteur Construction & Materials du Stoxx Europe 600).
Sa politique de rémunération 2018 propose une augmentation de 9% du fixe, entrainant ainsi automatiquement une augmentation du montant du bonus maximum. La société propose également d'abaisser la part de rémunération long-terme. Proxinvest préconise de mettre en place des montants fixes raisonnables, des bonus modérés et des part long-terme prépondérantes. Ainsi, la société propose exactement l'inverse de ce que nous recommandons. Aussi, nous ne soutenons pas la politique de rémunération 2018.
