The foundation aims to provide occupational pension provision within the framework of the BVG and its implementing provisions against the economic consequences of old age, disability and death for employees and their dependents and beneficiaries of those companies that are part of the D&A Group (Debrunner and Acifer companies) and have joined the foundation, provided that these employees are not already insured for the same purpose with another pension fund of the D&A Group. In addition, companies economically or financially closely linked to the D&A Group may join the foundation. The affiliation of individual group companies or a related company is based on a written affiliation agreement, which must be notified to the supervisory authority. The foundation may provide additional pension benefits beyond the statutory minimum benefits, including support in cases of need, such as illness, accident, disability or unemployment.
