Pension fund Witteveen+Bos will transition to the new pension rules on 1 January 2027. The management and works council of Witteveen+Bos Raadgevende ingenieurs B.V. (aka: the social partners) are deciding how this will happen. They have written down their plans in a transition plan.
That plan is currently ready in draft form and is currently being submitted to supporters.
What is the transition plan?
The transition plan contains agreements on:
- what the pension scheme for Pensioenfonds Witteveen+Bos will look like from 1 January 2027, and;
- how we will transition to the renewed pension scheme.

How does it go from here?
Until 10 December 2024, there is an opportunity for pensioners to respond via the right of hearing to the draft transition plan.
On 16 December 2024, the final transition plan will be presented to the pension fund board.
By 31 December 2024, the board reviews the transition plan and takes a preliminary decision to accept the mandate for implementation and execution.
In case of a positive preliminary decision, the board will start the further elaboration and implementation of the new pension scheme. To this end, an implementation plan and communication plan will be drawn up.
When working out the plan, the board checks whether it is balanced for all target groups and makes additional choices about the financial set-up.
The accountability body will give its advice on how we will move to the renewed pension scheme.
No later than 31 December 2025, the implementation plan and communication plan must be submitted to De Nederlandsche Bank (DNB) and the Authority for the Financial Market (AFM).
