 other officers, including the other NEOs. Our CEO does not participate in the deliberations of the Committee and our board regarding his own compensation. The role of the independent executive compensation consultant. The Committee engages an independent compensation consultant to provide expertise on competitive pay practices and compensation program design. Pursuant to the authority granted to it under its charter, the Committee has retained Pearl Meyer & Partners, LLC (“Pearl Meyer”) as its independent consultant. Pearl Meyer reports directly to the Committee and does not provide additional services to management. The Committee has conducted an independence assessment of Pearl Meyer in accordance with SEC rules, NYSE listing standards, and the requirements of the Committee’s charter, and has determined that work performed by Pearl Meyer does not create a conflict of interest and that Pearl Meyer is independent. The role of market analyses. In evaluating target compensation levels, the Committee has engaged its independent executive compensation consultant, Pearl Meyer, to prepare benchmarking studies. These studies have been prepared and presented to the Committee generally every year. The most recent study reviewed by the Committee to inform its February 2024 compensation decisions was prepared in December 2023. In its benchmarking studies, Pearl Meyer compared the specific compensation elements we awarded to each of our executive officers to those awarded to executive officers with similar responsibilities of each member of the peer group and broader survey group and to the relevant medians of the peer group and survey groups. Based on its analysis, Pearl Meyer advised the Committee on adjustments to base salary, annual incentive award and long-term incentive awards for each named executive officer. Peer and survey compensation data allow the Committee to determine whether our compensation programs and target compensation levels for executive officers are reasonable and competitive. At the direction of the Committee, Pearl Meyer screened and reviewed companies included in Standard & Poor’s Global Industry Classification Standard Capital Goods industry classification, reviewed the peer groups included in the 2023 reports of certain principal proxy advisory firms, and conducted an analysis to identify potential peer companies, evaluating comparability in terms of sales, business mix alignment, and market value, among other factors. The peer group selected by the Committee for study used for the purposes of setting compensation levels for 2024 was as follows:
