Your pension will be increased with 3.13%
5 December 2024Your pension will be increased with 3.13% per January 1, 2025. This percentage is the maximum increase that we can give.
Answer: That is true. As with many other organisations, pension at Heineken is a working condition. This means that the collective labour agreement stipulates that you accrue pension at the Heineken Pension Fund.
You pay 1/3rd of the pension contribution. The employer pays more: 2/3rds. If you are your own boss or arrange your pension yourself, you will miss out on the employer’s contribution. And then there is the pension fund: We invest this money, which makes it grow. We are investing every day and we do this for many people at the same time. This yields good results: you will (soon) receive more pension than you have contributed.
Good to know: You have several choices for your pension. For example, you choose when you want to retire. This way you can stop working before your regular retirement date. If you stop working earlier, you will accrue pension for a shorter period of time. And your pension will be lower. Check out all the choices on our website.

The state pension age will not change in 2025. It will remain 67 years, just like in 2024. The state pension age for 2030 was announced at the beginning of November. This has been set at 67 years and 3 months, which is the same as 2028 and 2029.
We look back on three days of great conversations and informative webinars in which we took a total of 341 live viewers through the transition to the new pension scheme. We have noticed that pensions are not an issue for everyone, but when we talk to colleagues, questions do arise.
