Martin Bijnagte unfortunately announced in December that he was leaving the Accountability Council for personal reasons. The Heineken Pension Fund thanks him for his efforts over the past year. In the Accountability Council there are two vacancies on behalf of the employer, one vacancy on behalf of the employees and one vacancy on behalf of the pensioners. If you would like to participate in the Accountability Council, please contact us.

We have placed a few podcasts on our website, called the Pension Shorties. These podcasts briefly tell you about pensions and/or when you should do something about your pension. For example, pension when you get married, have children or get incapacitated for work. The podcasts are somewhat older, but certainly still relevant (only available in Dutch).

There will be new rules for pensions with the new pension system. This means that the Heineken Pension Fund will have to make important choices in the near future. We have therefore conducted a survey into how much risk you want to take with your pension. Many (former) participants and pensioners have completed the survey. Thank you very much for participating in this survey!

We changed the pension regulations in 2023, because the intended effective date of regulation that introduces a withdrawal of a lump sum is Januari 1, 2024 (in stead of 1 July 2023).

The current funding ratio at the end of February 2023 is 132.3% (year-end 2022: 128.9%).

There will be new rules for pensions. This means that the Heineken Pension Fund will have to make important choices in the near future. We think your opinion is important for these choices. We would like to hear from you how much risk you want to take with your pension. We would like to hear that through this survey. You will soon receive a survey for this. Keep an eye on your email and/or post!

The Heineken Pension Fund has a vacancy on the Supervisory Board as of 1 July 2023.

There have been some changes in the Board and the Accountability Council.

The Heineken Pension Fund is working together with HEINEKEN and the employees’ organizations in a project to work out how we can and want to transfer to the new pension system.

As of 1 January 2023, the scheme for the Supplementary Partner’s Pension will change.
