Election results and new Vice Chairman

Elections took place in August 2022 for one position in the Board and two positions in the SPF Accountability Council (AC). The vacant seats were for pensioner representatives. All members who receive an SPF pension received a personal letter about this and could put themselves forward as candidate.

Three candidates ran for election. We share the results for the Board and AC.

The Board

Stuf Kaasenbrood was re-elected to the Board and will also be Vice Chairman. The position of Vice Chairman became vacant after Guido Croonen stepped down from SABIC and therefore also SPF. The Board will certainly miss the pleasant cooperation with Guido and his professional approach. He was always able to turn a complex story into clear language.

We would like to thank Guido for his personal contribution and commitment to our pension fund, and wish Stuf every success in his next term.

The Accountability Council

Jan Hellings was re-elected as member. He will continue to advocate for pensioners in the AC.

As a result of the elections, the AC is welcoming a new member. From 1 January 2023 Math Peeters is taking the baton from Ed van Lamoen, who is leaving.

In his last job at SABIC, Math was Director Site Logistics & Site Affairs and his now enjoying his pension. He is also active in the Board of the Association of Pensioners Sabic Europe (VGSE). With this knowledge and experience, Math can make a valuable contribution to the AC.

The SPF selection committee assessed Math’s suitability for membership and on September 30, 2022, the Board appointed Math as a member of the AC.

We wish Jan and Math every success and are looking forward to enjoying good cooperation with them.

Every year, the SPF Board gives account to the AC regarding policy and how it is executed. Among other matters, the AC is authorized to give its opinion on these matters. The AC also evaluates whether the Board’s policy and policy decisions comply with the established agreements and frameworks and whether a balance has been struck between the interests of the various groups of members.

Both the Board and the Supervisory Board are set up as a joint model. This means that the employer, the employees, and the pensioners are represented.
