Home Our pension fund New pension rules

New pension system

New rules for pensions have been in effect since 1 July 2023. These new rules are included in the Future Pensions Act. Because of these new rules, your pension plan will change. The new pension plan is scheduled to take effect on January 1st, 2028. 

The details of the new pension plan at Mars Pension Fund have yet to be decided, but on this page you can already find a lot of information about what you can expect.

What is the current situation?

Pension is an employment condition. This means that the employer (Mars) and the Works Councils have reached agreements regarding the new pension plan. These agreements are laid out in the Transition Plan. It outlines, for example, what the new pension plan will look like, what the contribution rates will be, and how the retirement and survivor’s pensions are structured. 
The Board has carefully reviewed the Transition Plan and assessed whether the agreements are understandable, feasible, and balanced. 

This review is now complete, and the Board has accepted the mandate to implement the new pension plan and to convert all pensions to the new plan.  This marks an important milestone in the transition to the new pension plan. We will, of course, let you know as soon as further steps are taken.
