     108  0 Kommentare Arcos Dorados Incorporates ESG Indicators Into its Executive Variable Compensation Policy

    Arcos Dorados Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: ARCO) (“Arcos Dorados” or the “Company”), Latin America’s largest restaurant chain and the world’s largest independent McDonald’s franchisee, announced that, as of 2021, the variable compensation policy* for the Company’s executives will include ESG (Environmental, Social & Governance) indicators. Arcos Dorados is the first company in the region’s restaurant industry to adopt such a measure, which reinforces the significance of ESG to the long-term sustainability of its business and promotes shared responsibility for the fulfillment of its established social and environmental commitments.

    “Arcos Dorados has a long track record of contributing to the communities where we operate. As a leading company in our region, I have always believed we have a responsibility to be an agent of change in Latin American society, which is what led to the development of our Recipe for the Future,” said Woods Staton, Executive Chairman of Arcos Dorados. “Although research published by leading compensation consulting firms indicates that only around 30% of companies in the global consumer discretionary industry incorporate ESG indicators in their compensation programs, we believe this is a crucial step to ensuring we stay true to making a positive impact on youth opportunity, sustainable sourcing, packaging and recycling, climate change and family wellbeing,” he concluded.

    “Last year was the most challenging in our history. Fortunately, we proactively and aggressively pivoted our business to successfully meet our guests’ changing needs and, just as importantly, demonstrated how seriously we take our responsibility to positively impact the environment and the communities we serve. Looking ahead, by tying a portion of our executives’ variable compensation to ESG indicators, we are further aligning the Company with the long-term social and environmental commitments we made in recent years and ensuring Arcos Dorados is recognized as one of the most socially-responsible companies in Latin America," explained Marcelo Rabach, Chief Executive Officer of Arcos Dorados.

    Integrating ESG indicators to determine the variable compensation of its executives adds to a series of initiatives within the Company’s Recipe for the Future platform, which establishes socio-environmental commitments across five pillars: youth opportunity, sustainable sourcing, packaging and recycling, climate change and family wellbeing.
