    The Board notes that, excluding abstentions, 30% of votes were received against Resolution 6, to increase the fees payable to the Chairman and Non-Executive Directors in line with the BSI UK wider workforce.

     

    Although the resolution has been passed, the Board will ask its external remuneration consultant, Willis Towers Watson, to carry out a benchmarking exercise on the level of fees and will consider if any action should be taken in light of these findings. An update will be provided in BSI’s 2025 Annual Report & Financial Statements.
