CSR & Governance. The average total earnings for leading executives of FTSE 100 firms rose by nearly a quarter last year according to figures from Income Data Services (IDS).The data comes amid a free top spate of recent protests by shareholders and investors groups over excessive pay packages for some top executives and ‘rewards for free top failure’. Executives at Aviva, Corus , Shell, Schroders, Reed Elsevier, Reuters and Telewest are amongst those who have recently infuriated shareholders with huge pay free top awards despite presiding over falling share prices, mass redundancies, or both.One of the bosses who has recently faced criticism from shareholders, Niall Fitzgerald of Unilever, who earns more than £2m-a-year as chairman and has a pension pot of more than £11 million, has described the huge payoffs to unsuccessful directors as "a potential cancer in our society".The IDS figures showed that the total earnings of top executives in 2002- including basic salary, share options and other bonuses - rose by 23 per cent.
