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 the companies economically or financially closely related or affiliated with it, for third parties who were previously in an employment relationship with the company or an affiliated or related company, as well as for the dependents and survivors of these employees and third parties against the economic consequences of old age, death and disability. The affiliation of an affiliated or related company is based on a written affiliation agreement; affiliation agreements must be notified to the supervisory authority. The foundation may provide additional pension benefits beyond the statutory minimum benefits. To achieve its purpose, the foundation may conclude insurance contracts or enter into existing contracts, provided that it is itself the policyholder and beneficiary.
