Each affiliated company forms a pension fund with a pension commission made up equally of employees and employers. The tasks are specifically defined in employee benefits and organizational regulations.
What are the tasks of a pension commission?
TRANSPARENTA distributes all surpluses annually, which is why the pension commission of every company is of great importance.
This determines the structure of benefits and financing by selecting the pension plan. It decides on the distribution of free funds from surplus payments or the interest on retirement assets, depending on the individual coverage ratio and the pension model chosen for the pension fund.
Further information on the tasks and duties of the Joint Pension Commission can be found here.
What is the liability of the pension commission and is there insurance?
The members of the pension commission are automatically co-insured under the foundation's corporate and corporate liability insurance (also known as Directors & Officers or Pension Trustee Liability Insurance).
This insurance covers claims for damages arising from a breach of duty (corporate liability) as well as the costs of defending against unjustified claims. However, it should be noted that the risk of damage resulting from breaches of duty is generally extremely low for pension commissions. The main tasks for implementing occupational benefits and thus the responsibility lie with the Board of Trustees, the Investment Commission and the Management Board.
Events for pension commissions
TRANSPARENTA organizes a training event for pension committees every two years.
The next event is expected to take place in summer/autumn 2027.

Anlass für Vorsorgekommissionen - 12. Juni 2025
Das TRANSPARENTA-Team durfte am 12. Juni 2025 gegen 60 VK-Mitglieder der angeschlossenen Vorsorgewerke im Hotel Mövenpick in Basel begrüssen. Kurzweilig, lernreich und inspirierend sei der Nachmittag gewesen, so das erfreuliche Urteil aus dem Kreis der Gäste. Einen besonderen Höhepunkt bot das fesselnde Gastreferat von FCB-Ehrenpräsident Bernhard Heusler.
