PGGM Coöperatie U.A is the sole shareholder of PGGM N.V. Neither PGGM Coöperatie U.A nor PGGM N.V. are listed on the stock exchange. For that reason, we are not obliged to comply with the Netherlands Corporate Governance Code, which only applies to listed companies. Nevertheless, where possible we are keen to implement the best practices described in this code. We do so because we support the underlying idea and wish to be as transparent as possible for all interested parties and the parties with whom we do business.
PGGM Coöperatie U.A. was founded by the social partners in the health and welfare sector. The members of the cooperative are employees and pensioners in the sector. PGGM operates without a profit motive. Making a profit is not a goal but a means to continually improve the service provision to members of the cooperative. The cooperative is governed by the Cooperative Council. This Council is accountable to the Pension Council.
The Members’ Council is the most senior body of PGGM Coöperatie, consisting of 45 members and with an independent chairperson. The Members’ Council represents the members of the cooperative, totalling more than 765,000. The Members’ Council is the link between the Cooperative Council and the members, it provides input and ideas for the cooperative and promotes the influence and involvement of members. The Members’ Council thus ensures direct influence from the sector on PGGM policy.
The Cooperative Board is responsible for the identity, mission, vision and financial and other policy frameworks of PGGM Coöperatie and is accountable for these to the Members’ Council.
