Comparing Green Energy Group Limited's CEO Compensation With The Industry

At the time of writing, our data shows that Green Energy Group Limited has a market capitalization of HK$298m, and reported total annual CEO compensation of HK$618k for the year to June 2025. This was the same as last year. Notably, the salary which is HK$600.0k, represents most of the total compensation being paid.

In comparison with other companies in the Hong Kong Oil and Gas industry with market capitalizations under HK$1.6b, the reported median total CEO compensation was HK$1.5m. Accordingly, Green Energy Group pays its CEO under the industry median.

On an industry level, around 82% of total compensation represents salary and 18% is other remuneration. Investors will find it interesting that Green Energy Group pays the bulk of its rewards through a traditional salary, instead of non-salary benefits. If total compensation veers towards salary, it suggests that the variable portion - which is generally tied to performance, is lower.

Has Green Energy Group Limited Been A Good Investment?

Green Energy Group Limited has generated a total shareholder return of 10.0% over three years, so most shareholders would be reasonably content. But they probably don't want to see the CEO paid more than is normal for companies around the same size.

In Summary...

Assuming the business continues to grow at a good clip, few shareholders would raise any objections to the CEO's remuneration.
