The Commonwealth Bank of Australia has been criticised for adding new targets to its bonus plan. The Australian Shareholders’ Association is concerned that CBA executives will now be rewarded for meeting targets that are unrelated to performance, following the introduction of a 25 per cent target for "diversity, inclusion, sustainability and culture". The bank’s existing 25 per cent bonus for "customer satisfaction" is also controversial. CEO Ian Narev’s remuneration for 2015-16 comprised a base salary of $A8.77 million and performance-linked bonuses of $A3.53 million.
