BHP Billiton Limited (ASX:BHP) has shown its top executives are on a pay freeze just days after revealing more job cuts from its operations.
The global diversified miner’s CEO Andrew Mackenzie took home almost $US8 million after his first year leading the company.
The figure is steeply down from BHP’s last chief Marius Kloppers who was paid a $16 million package in his final year.
Mr Mackenzie and his executive team have had no increases to their base salaries and the company has advised its non-executive pay remains frozen.
BHP says it believes these outcomes align remuneration with shareholders interests and the prevailing business environment.
BHP Billiton reported a net profit of $16.2 billion in the full 2014 financial year.
