The foundation aims to provide occupational pension provision within the framework of the BVG and its implementing provisions for members of the company's management and economically or financially closely related companies, as well as affiliated companies, and for their relatives and beneficiaries against the economic consequences of old age, death and disability. The affiliation of a related company is based on a decision of the foundation board and by means of 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 services in cases of need, such as illness, accident, disability or unemployment.
