AP Moller-Maersk chairman Jim Hagemann Snabe has defended big payouts to directors by saying they do more work than previously.
Hagemann Snabe in particular had come under fire for his DKK 7m ($1.01m) pay packet in 2019, after the group published remuneration details for the first time earlier this year.
The gap to the next best paid Danish director, Novo Norisk chairman Helge Lund, is nearly DKK 4m.
