Pension increase by 3.42% and change pension regulations
The board of the HPF has decided to increase the pensions by 3.42% as of 1 July 2022. This percentage is equal to the maximum surcharge that we can grant, which is the increase in consumer prices (based on the price increase from October 2020 to October 2021). We can execute this increase because the government has temporarily changed the rules for pension increases. As a result, pensions can already be increased at a policy funding ratio of 105%. These rules have been implemented in anticipation of the new pension system and included in the pension regulations as of 1 July 2022.

Possible pension increase
The government has temporarily extended the indexation rules, so that pensions may already be increased at a policy funding ratio of 105%. These rules have been implemented in anticipation of the new pension system. If the conditions are met, the HPF could make use of the extended indexation rules.

Vacancy Accountabillity Council
There are vacancies in the Accountability Council (AC) of the Heineken Pension Fund (HPF). An important role, because the HPF board is accountable to the AC for the policy and the way in which it is implemented. The AC assesses the policy pursued and has the right to advise the board on a number of subjects. The HPF encourages everyone to apply who would like to learn more about the HEINEKEN pension scheme and thus contribute to a bright future for all HEINEKEN colleagues. The documentation is in Dutch. It is therefore important that Dutch can be read/understood. The spoken language may also be English.You can read more about the position and what is expected of you here. (only available in Dutch)

Why a new pension system?
Retirement rules worked well for years, but that is changing. It is not clear enough how much money people pay for their retirement. And is the economy doing well? In that case, the pensions can sometimes still not be increased. That feels unfair. Thirdly, people change jobs more often, stop working for a while or start their own company. The rules for pensions do not fit this situation well. Therefore they need to be adjusted.We want everyone in the Netherlands to be able to receive a good pension. Even the generations after us. That is why the unions, employers and the government have jointly made new rules for pensions. In the coming years we will implement these new rules together.
