The foundation aims to provide occupational pension provision within the framework of the BVG and its implementing provisions for the employees of the company and economically or financially closely related companies, as well as for their relatives and dependents against the economic consequences of old age, death and disability. The affiliation of a related company is based on a written affiliation agreement, which must be notified to the supervisory authority. The foundation can provide additional benefits beyond the statutory minimum benefits, including support in cases of need, such as illness, accident, disability or unemployment. No benefits may be paid from the foundation's assets for purposes other than pension provision, to which the company is legally obligated or which it usually pays as compensation for services rendered (such as cost-of-living allowances, bonuses, anniversary gifts, etc.).
