counter to the company goals / purpose
Entire sentence:
No person may be renumerated through "administrative expenses which are counter to the goals (or purpose) of the company" or through disproportionately high compensation.
It just flows a little bit better than your original, but you were close!

inappropriate to the purpose of the company
or even just "inappropriate to the company"
In my view the suggested translation is along the right lines but somewhat over-interpreted - if they meant it to be with "achieving the company's objectives" there would be something about Unternehmensziele in the German.
