Total
The Board of Greenpeace International received compensation during 2012 of a total of €81,000 (€100,000 in 2011): the Board Chair received €36,000, one Board member received €5,000 and four other Board members each received €10,000. The Board members would have been entitled to a higher compensation based on time spent, but the amounts have been capped at these levels by the Annual General Meeting of Greenpeace International. The International Executive Director and the Senior Management Team are paid emoluments commensurate with their level of responsibility. The International Executive Director of Greenpeace International received total emoluments of €133,000, including salary of €117,000, employer’s social charges and pension contribution of €12,000, and other benefits to the value of €4,000. In 2011, the International Executive Director received total emoluments of €126,000, including salary of €111,000, employer's social charges and pension contribution of €12,000, and other benefits to the value of €3,000. In total, emoluments of €983,000 (€740,000 in 2011) were paid to the eight other members of the Senior Management Team in 2012. The increase between 2011 and 2012 is largely due to the fact that some positions within the Senior Management Team were not all filled during 2011, whereas in 2012 they were.
