From Disney to Dior, Norway wealth fund challenges CEO pay
Executive pay is firmly in the crosshairs of Norway's $1 trillion (727 billion pound) sovereign wealth fund as it puts its votes to work at some of the more than 9,000 companies it is invested in. The world's biggest sovereign wealth fund, built on Norway's oil revenues, has become a more active shareholder in recent years and since 2017 has called for changes including the scrapping of long-term incentive plans and simpler and more transparent packages. It has also voted against the pay of Disney (DIS.N) CEO Bob Iger, Christian Dior (DIOR.PA) CEO Sydney Toledano, Peugeot (PEUP.PA) CEO Carlos Tavares, Vinci (SGEF.PA) CEO Xavier Huilliard and Vivendi (VIV.PA) CEO Arnaud de Puyfontaine.
