STARTUP SHARES - THESE COUNTRIES WILL TAX YOU THE LEAST

Global

Offering equity to employees is a key strategy for startups to attract talent over larger firms, seen in Europe where successful companies like Klarna and Deliveroo have spurred new ventures. However, European taxation on employee stock options varies significantly by country, with Estonia, Lithuania, and the UK cited as the most favorable due to lower tax burdens and simpler regulations compared to countries like France and Germany, which have more stringent tax policies and regulations. These differences impact how much employees can potentially gain from their stock options, influencing company decisions on offering ESOPs versus other equity schemes like VSOPs in heavily regulated markets.

Global

The Asian Utilities Engagement Programme (AUEP), led by the Asian Investor Group on Climate Change (AIGCC), focuses on linking executive compensation to climate-related Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) in Asian utilities. The program urges these companies to implement governance frameworks for climate issues, establish decarbonization timelines, disclose climate information according to TCFD guidelines, address physical climate risks, and ensure their lobbying activities align with climate objectives. Several companies, such as Japan's J-Power and Chub Electric, as well as Malaysia's Tenaga Nasional, are already incorporating sustainability KPIs into their compensation structures, and the program plans to expand its engagement to regulators and other markets.
