Zoals al eerder aangekondigd in deze serie, gelden als gevolg van de SFDR vanaf 10 maart 2021 extra regels over informatieverschaffing over duurzaamheid van beleggingen. Die regels gelden ook voor de pensioenindustrie.

Wanneer vallen pensioenfondsen en pensioenproducten eronder?

De Europese SFDR Verordening (2019/2088) is van toepassing op pensioenfondsen, ontwikkelaars van pensioenproducten en aanbieders van zogeheten pan-Europese persoonlijke pensioenproducten (hierna: pensioenaanbieders). Pensioenaanbieders worden voor het doel van de SFDR in feite gelijkgesteld met aanbieders van beleggingsproducten. Eerder in deze serie kwam al aan bod dat de SFDR ook van toepassing is op verzekeraars die verzekeringen met een beleggingscomponent aanbieden. Hiermee kan worden gesteld dat de meeste tweedepijler en derdepijler pensioenproducten onder de SFDR vallen.

Implementing The EU Pay Transparency Directive In The Netherlands: What Employers Need To Know

The Netherlands is set to implement the EU Pay Transparency Directive by January 2027, introducing comprehensive requirements for employers to ensure equal pay across genders. Employers will face new obligations including salary disclosure to job applicants, gender pay-gap reporting for companies with 100+ employees, and the need to justify pay differences using objective, gender-neutral criteria.

Future Pensions Act: Who Gets What In The Transition To The New Pension System?

The Future Pensions Act mandates that Dutch pension schemes transition to new solidarity-based or flexible defined contribution models by 2028, requiring the conversion of collective pension assets into individual capital accounts. This process raises critical questions about fair allocation of pension fund assets and the potential liability exposure for social partners and pension funds when distributions become unbalanced.

The Dutch approach emphasizes strict implementation without additional obligations, but places the burden of proof on employers who fail to comply with transparency requirements
