The Center On Executive Compensation is dedicated to developing and promoting principled pay and governance practices and advocating compensation policies that serve the best interests of shareholders and other corporate stakeholders. The Center’s principled pay practices hold that executive compensation should be:

• Aligned With the Best Interests of the Company's Shareholders and Other Stakeholders 
  
  
• Fully Compliant With Applicable Laws and Regulations
  
  
• Independently Informed and Approved
  
  
• Appropriately Customized to the Company's Culture, Values, Industry and Strategy
  
  
• Transparent and Accessible
  
  
• Fair and Reasonable to the Company's Shareholders and Executives as a Whole

Headquartered in Washington, DC, the Center was created at the direction of the Board of Directors of HR Policy Association, which represents the senior HR executives of 250 of the largest corporations in the United States. Their intent was to ensure that the Association would support the critically important work of these executives as well as provide them with a stronger voice in the executive compensation debate. Funding for the Center comes from both HR Policy Association and the Center's subscribers.

Subscriptions to the Center are available to member companies of the HR Policy Association. For further information regarding subscriptions, please contact Tim Bartl at (202) 408-8181 or tbartl@execcomp.org.
