Mars and the Works Council have made agreements with each other about a new pension plan. These are laid out in a transition plan, which will be posted on the website in mid-February.

What is a transition plan?

The goal is to transition to a new pension plan on January 1, 2027. The transition plan sets out, for example, what the new pension plan will look like, how high the contributions will be, and how the retirement pension, the partner’s pension and the orphan's pension will be arranged. This is the result of agreements made between Mars and the Works Council.

Pension fund almost on the ball

The pension fund is being asked to put these agreements into practice. Therefore, as a pension fund, we are assessing the transition plan; we will verify if the agreements are understandable, balanced and feasible.

Next step

The next step is to create an Implementation plan, that we will submit to De Nederlandsche Bank (the Dutch Central Bank, DNB). DNB will check if the plan meets the legal requirements, so that we can ultimately carry out the transition carefully and responsibly. More information will follow by then.
