Consideration by the directors of matters relating to directors’ remuneration (not audited)
The Committee has access to independent consultants to ensure it receives objective advice. Following a selection process in 2013,
the Committee appointed Towers Watson Limited (‘Towers Watson’) as external advisers and they acted in this role throughout the
year ended 31 March 2015. Towers Watson provides other services to Experian globally, which comprise advice on pensions, benefits,
employee engagement and market data.
In addition, Kepler Associates (‘Kepler’) provided incentive plan award valuations and remuneration data, as well as supporting data
for the target calibration process. Kepler does not provide any other services to the Group.
Towers Watson and Kepler are members of the Remuneration Consultants Group and voluntarily operate under the Code of Conduct
in relation to executive remuneration consulting in the UK. Accordingly the Committee was satisfied that their advice was objective
and independent.
The fees paid to these advisers for advice and services to the Committee in the year ended 31 March 2015 are set out in the following
table and are based on hours spent:
Adviser Fees paid in 2015
Towers Watson £54,573
Kepler £23,000
