Summary
The Code is a code of conduct for the sector and consists of the standards thatthe sector has set itself. This is a new version of the Code. The standards are now grouped on the basis of eight themes and the number of standards has been made more manageable. This new format enables the board and the internal supervision to consult in a much more focused manner on the essential features of the Code, the eight themes on which good pension fund governance is based: ‘Living up to trust’, ‘Taking responsibility’, ‘Acting with integrity’, ‘Striving for quality’, ‘Appointing carefully’, ‘Appropriate remuneration’, ‘Supervision and ensuring participation’ and ‘Promoting transparency’.
