Vacancy board member / key function holder risk management
As of November 1, 2025, there is a vacancy for a member on behalf of the pensioners on the board. The current board member and key function holder risk management, Michiel Kamermans, has indicated that he would like to continue his board membership. The Association of Pensioners at Heineken (VvGH) has therefore nominated Michiel Kamermans again as a board member.

The board of the Heineken Pension Fund has the opinion that Michiel Kamermans is a good candidate, but also offers other pensioners the opportunity to put themselves forward as candidates. That is why we are looking for committed and skilled people who want to apply and can fulfil the role of board member and key function holder risk management. The requirements for a candidate are included in the attached profile (only available in Dutch).

Who can apply
Anyone who is entitled to a pension from the Heineken Pension Fund may apply. Most of the notes discussed are in Dutch, so it is useful if you can read Dutch.

Nomination
You can register your candidacy before the closing date of the application, October 21, 2025. Your application must be accompanied by a document bearing the names and signatures of at least twenty-five pensioners entitled to vote. We would also like to receive your motivation to become a member of the board.

The following documents must be submitted at the time of registration:

  1. A copy of a valid ID;
  2. An up-to-date curriculum vitae (CV) that includes at least:
    1. Education and courses followed;
    2. Work experience;
    3. Ancillary positions.

Mail your apply to Mike van Elburg, manager Policy and Communication: mike.vanelburg@heineken.com or send it to the following correspondence address:
Heineken Pension Fund Foundation
Attn. Election Committee Board
P.O. Box 28
1000 AA Amsterdam

If necessary, the election committee will request additional information. Furthermore, the following training courses may be part of the appointment process:

  • Following an (introduction) course with a positive end result; and
  • If necessary, one or more training courses or introductions that are intended to increase the existing competencies to the level of the required competencies.

Finally, the Dutch Central Bank (DNB) assesses whether the candidate in question is suitable for the position.

Planning
An election committee, consisting of two members of the board and the management of the implementing organization, will invite candidates who are deemed suitable on the basis of their CV and the other documents for an interview. If, as a result, the election committee judges that there is more than one suitable candidate, an electoral list is drawn up. Elections will then take place. To this end, a call to vote will be sent to all pensioners.

As soon as the qualified and possibly chosen candidate is known, he or she will be appointed.
