Future Pensions Act

PensionUpdate#53

The revised pension system is coming and that means a lot is going to happen in the coming years. We have recently added a new page ‘Het vernieuwde pensioenstelsel en de toekomst van het fonds’ ('The Revised Pension System and the Fund’s Future') to our website, where we explain exactly what the changes in the revised system mean, what will not change for you and what the transition towards 2028 looks like for participants of the Dow Pension Fund Foundation (SDPF).
We have compiled all this information in an orderly manner so you can see at a glance how the new rules translate to the situation at SDPF. You can also read more about the steps the Fund and social partners are taking in the run-up to Dow's new pension scheme, which will be transferred to a different administrator with effect from 1 January 2028. We also explain how the pension entitlements and rights you have accrued up to the transition date will be dealt with.
