Dutch pension fund PMT finalises Accountability Body

Dutch pension fund PMT has announced the finalised appointments to its new accountability body for the next four years, consisting of 16 seats – five for pensioners, eight for employees, three for employers.

The members appointed on behalf of pensioners are Sjef Marcelis, Anita Wieman-Hesterman, Jos Broeren, Evert Geul, and Tineke Kamstra.

Marcelis was nominated on behalf of the Association of Pensioners PMT, and Wieman-Hesterman and Kamstra will serve in a personal capacity.

Geul was nominated by Christelijk Nationaal Vakverbond (CNV), the National Federation of Christian Trade Unions, while Broeren was nominated by the Federatie Nederlandse Vakbeweging (FNV), the Dutch Trade Union Federation.

Meanwhile, of the eight members of the accountability body, who were elected on behalf of the employees, four were nominated by the Active Participants’ Group for Metal and Engineering. These four members are Leo Rolf, Wilfried de Waal, Joshua Tourrich, and Mr J. Laagland.

Meanwhile, Noortje Oudshoorn, who has also been elected as a board member on behalf of the employees, is part of the Active Participants’ Interest Group.

In addition to these five members, Rudy Kleine was nominated by FNV and Carl Holtrop was nominated by CNV on behalf of members, while Sander Klaassen will serve in a personal capacity.

The fund explained that one employee seat was filled at a later date due to an objection that had been lodged. The objection procedure has now been finalised.

PMT has appointed two employer representatives to the Accountability Body. Mr J.A. Vaas and Mr E. Helwerda were nominated by the Federation of Employers Technology. One employer seat on the board remains vacant, but PMT has said that it expects to fill the position shortly.

The fund wished the new accountability body every success.

This is a formal update of the provisional results of the election announcement made earlier this year.
