The social partners have made agreements about the new pension plan of Philips Pensioenfonds. In May 2024 it was already announced that the so-called solidarity-based contribution plan had been chosen. All agreements about the new pension plan have now been included in the ‘transition plan’.

In about two years, all our members (active members, pension beneficiaries and members with a non-contributory policy) will switch to a new pension plan that aligns with the new legal rules for pensions. We recently decided on the scheduled date for the switch to the new pension plan: 1 January 2027.

On behalf of the pensioners, Philips Pensioenfonds has transferred an amount of € 97,676.48 to KWF Kankerbestrijding this month. 

Philips Pensioenfonds has received an electoral list exclusively from the Federation of Philips Associations of Pensioners (FPVG). Because this organization is the only one to have submitted a list of candidates and no individual candidates have applied, no elections will follow.

In May, we announced the news that Philips and the unions had agreed on the details of the future pension plan, and that they had decided on a solidarity-based contribution plan. It will be another two years or so before the new pension plan will come into effect, but even though that is far away, we are not sitting still now. Read on to find out more about the process ahead during the next two years.

The Uniform Pension Statement 2024 is available to all non-contributory policyholders (those who are no longer employed but still have a pension with Philips Pension Fund).

The 2024 Uniform Pension Overviews are available to everyone who receives a pension.

On 1 September 2025, Jasper Kemme (61) will resign as Managing Director and Chairman of the Executive Board of Philips Pensioenfonds. On that date, it will be exactly 30 years ago that Jasper joined the Philips Pensioenfonds. And by then, the most important decisions on the transition to the new pension plan (in 2026) will have been taken.

In our annual report you can read all about the developments in the past year. You read that we ended the year with a healthy financial situation, which allowed us to fully increase pensions in 2024. 2023 is also the year in which the Future Pensions Act came into effect.
