The purpose of the foundation is to provide care for the employees in the internal and external service of the company, as well as their dependents and survivors, against the economic consequences of old age, disability and death. This purpose can be fulfilled in particular by providing voluntary additional benefits to the regulatory pension benefits in the event of old age, disability and death; providing voluntary purchasing benefits for the regulatory pension of employees; providing benefits to finance contributions and insurance premiums to other tax-exempt employee benefit institutions that exist for the benefit of the beneficiaries. However, employer contributions can only be made from foundation funds if contribution reserves have been previously accumulated and separately disclosed (employer contribution reserves). Furthermore, the foundation aims to support employees and their dependents and survivors in cases of need, such as illness, accident, disability or unemployment.
