From 40 nominations, Shell Pension has been chosen as a major contender for the golden Pensioen Pro Award 2022.

Expert panel selects Shell pension funds because of their innovative communication
The expert panel has nominated 3 pension funds: Shell, bpfBOUW and Pensioenfonds ABN Amro. This is a selection from over 40 nominations for the various categories of the Pensioen Pro Awards. Shell’s pension funds stand out because of their innovative communication, making pensions accessible and understandable to their members. Shell Pension is solid and progressive, according to the expert panel.

Distinguished by its financial position and communication from the members’ perspective
“The SSPF and SNPS pension funds and their Shell Pensioenbureau Nederland provide the pension and defined contribution schemes for over 41,000 current and former Shell employees. The funds achieve excellent financial results in doing so. SSPF had a coverage of over 144% at the end of August. But besides a solid financial position, the Shell funds stand out above all because they take the perspective of their members into account. At Shell, for instance, even the pension regulations – notoriously heavy reading – become a pleasure to read and e-learnings help make pensions understandable in a very user-friendly way,” says PensioenPro.

“Progressive, both in terms of its schemes (Shell developed a defined contribution scheme very early on) and in terms of communication to its members,” is the panel’s opinion. “Innovative and from the members’ point of view: it is impressive how much work has been done to make pensions accessible.”
