That's a notable increase of 27% on last year. We think total compensation is more important but our data shows that the CEO salary is lower, at €635k.

For comparison, other companies in the the Netherlands Construction industry with market capitalizations ranging between €365m and €1.5b had a median total CEO compensation of €2.1m.

On an industry level, around 49% of total compensation represents salary and 51% is other remuneration. Koninklijke Heijmans sets aside a smaller share of compensation for salary, in comparison to the overall industry. It's important to note that a slant towards non-salary compensation suggests that total pay is tied to the company's performance.
