2.1 The Foundation aims to provide occupational benefits within the framework of the BVG and its implementing regulations for the employees of Pro Infirmis and its collective members, as well as for their dependents and survivors against the economic consequences of old age, disability, and death. The affiliation of a collective member takes place on the basis of a written affiliation agreement, which must be brought to the attention of the supervisory authority. The Foundation may provide benefits beyond the statutory minimum, including support in cases of need, such as illness, accident, disability, or unemployment.
2.2 The Board of Trustees issues a regulation on the benefits, organization, administration, financing, and control of the Foundation. It establishes the relationship with the employers, the insured, and the beneficiaries in the regulation. The regulation can be amended by the Board of Trustees while respecting the acquired legal rights of the beneficiaries. The regulation and its amendments must be submitted to the supervisory authority.
2.3 To achieve its purpose, the Foundation may conclude insurance contracts or join existing contracts, whereby it must itself be the insured and the beneficiary.
