Executive Remuneration Framework
Fixed Remuneration
Competitive base salaries are benchmarked against market practice and the scope of executive responsibilities.
Variable Remuneration
Performance‑linked incentives reflect both Company results and individual contribution. Annual bonuses are tied to approved KPIs at the start of each financial year.
Benefits and Allowances
Comprehensive benefits package include housing allowances, medical insurance, and other market‑standard entitlements.
Performance and Governance
Executive performance is assessed against predefined KPIs covering financial, operational, strategic, and people‑related objectives.
The Nomination and Remuneration Committee (NRC) oversees all remuneration matters, ensuring alignment with DTC’s strategy and shareholder interests.
Strengthening the Compensation Framework in 2025
During 2025, the NRC undertook a comprehensive review of the Short‑Term Incentive (STI) structure for the C‑suite. This included assessment of market benchmarks and refinement of performance linkages. The final revised STI proposal was endorsed by the NRC and elevated to the Board for approval, reinforcing transparent and structured reward practices.
