the Group Executive Team were entitled to vari-
able salary according to a program for variable
remuneration determined by the Board. The per-
formance targets defined in the program were
primarily related to operating margin and opera-
ting rolling cash flow.
The purpose of the program for variable remu-
neration is to create an incentive for the executives
to strive for the Volvo Group developing in such a
manner that the defined performance targets are
achieved, thereby constituting a management
tool. Accordingly, the performance targets set by
the Board for variable remuneration inter alia
relate to the Group’s financial targets for improved
operating margin.
The Remuneration Committee conducts an
annual evaluation of the remuneration policy and
Volvo’s system for variable remuneration to execu-
tives and the Board prepares a special report of
this evaluation and the conclusions. The report on
the evaluation for 2012 will be available on Volvo’s
website not later than two weeks prior to the
Annual General Meeting 2013, www.volvogroup.
com. For more information about remuneration to
the Group Executive Team and an account of out-
standing share and share-price related incentive
programs to the management, refer to Note 27 in
the Group’s notes in the Annual Report.
