2021: 'A dynamic year: meeting in person again, new insights, and closer to the new pension system'
Our figures
The figures from our annual report can be found here. You can read the full annual report on our website.
In 2021, we said goodbye to three board members. Carmen Floristan took over from Ahmet Gokcen, Jan Wolter Molster was succeeded by Otto Berbée, and Michael Merckx also left the pension fund board. We are still working to find his successor. I would like to thank the former board members for all the time and energy they have put into our fund. With their departure, we have lost a great deal of knowledge and experience. But with new directors come new insights and different perspectives, which is great news for our fund!
Investing with a passion for people and the environment
In 2021, we also worked on a new policy to invest in a socially responsible way. The law provides a good framework for this. Carmen Floristan and Otto Berbée explain our new ESG policy. You can read the full interview here.
Forward in 2022
We know that the new pension scheme is on all our members’ minds. We’ll keep you as up to date as we can about any developments. As a pension fund, we are ready to play our part in the transition. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask, and we’ll do our best to answer them.
50-year anniversary
2022 is a big year for us: we will be celebrating our 50-year anniversary. We are proud of our fund, which has offered stability and been financially healthy for 50 years. A huge achievement!
