Quantas ex-CEO Forfeits Bonus for Reputation Damage

Qantas Airways Ltd. docked A$9.3 million ($6.1 million) from former Chief Executive Officer Alan Joyce’s final payout and announced a governance overhaul after a review partly blamed board and management errors for the carrier’s reputational crisis. This punitive action conforms to heightened expectations this year by both institutional investors and proxy advisers that companies should be clawing back CEO compensation for both reputational damage and for failures in risk management, even if financials do not have to be restated. This should help focus board attention to the factors that increase, protect, and restore reputation value including reputation risk intelligence, risk management, and reputation value insurance (aka, Side R).

And now, the last bits of the tail of a reputation crisis. “Hedge fund Elliott Investment Management announced yesterday that it has a $1.9bn position in Southwest Airlines, comprising 11% of the company’s shares. It issued a letter to the airline’s board, calling for new directors, a new CEO, more executives from outside, and a comprehensive business review. In its letter, Elliott wrote, ‘While Southwest has a proud history, that history is not an argument for supporting poor leadership and sticking with a strategy that no longer succeeds in the modern airline industry.’” Relevant podcast on what this means for your company: https://5-minute-aventures-in-risk-resilience.zencast.website
