The foundation aims to provide occupational pension benefits 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 dependents and beneficiaries, against the economic consequences of old age, disability and death. The affiliation of a related company is made on the basis of a written affiliation agreement, which must be notified to the supervisory authority. An affiliation is only possible if the foundation is provided with the necessary means and the rights of the existing beneficiaries are not impaired. The foundation can provide additional benefits beyond the statutory minimum benefits, including support benefits in cases of need, such as illness, accident, disability or unemployment. To achieve its purpose, the foundation can conclude insurance contracts or enter into existing contracts, whereby it must be the policyholder and beneficiary itself.
