On Tuesday May 30 2023, a majority of the Senate voted in favor of the Future of Pensions Act. This means that there will now be a definitive new pension system and that HEINEKEN's pension scheme will change in the coming years.

Pension funds will have time to prepare for the new system from July 1, 2023. By January 1 2028, all pension funds must have transferred.

Next steps

As Heineken Pension Fund, we aim to transfer to the new pension system on January 1 2026. The employer, trade unions and the Heineken Pension Fund have already started preparations.

We will keep you informed via our website about the steps we are taking towards the new pension system. You can read in this news post why we need a new pension system, which elements remain and what is changing.
