About us

PNO Media is the pension fund for people working in the creative and digital sector. Together with employers and employees, we work towards a good pension for later. Our pension schemes also provide financial protection in the event of disability or death.
We invest pension contributions responsibly. Our aim is to achieve good investment returns while taking account of people and the environment.

Who is PNO Media?

PNO Media is a non-profit foundation. This means we take good care of every euro you entrust to us. Our results optimally benefit our participants. 

We were founded in 1947 for employees working in Dutch broadcasting. Today, we provide pensions for people in a wide range of creative and digital professions. They include journalists, editors, directors, sound engineers, camera crews, app developers, designers, set builders, IT professionals and marketers.

We are based in Hilversum.

More than 550 employers and 70,000 participants and pension beneficiaries trust us to arrange their pensions properly.

Mission and strategy

PNO Media strives to obtain a leading position in the creative and digital sector. Employers, participants, former participants and pension beneficiaries are at the heart of our services. We respond to social developments with contemporary pension solutions.

PNO Media pursues the following strategic goals:

• A good and affordable pension by means of a well-founded and controlled investment policy and contribution policy.
• Best in class service, clear, careful and timely communication with participants about the realistic expected pension outcome.
• Good value for money by paying attention to costs.
• Continuity through growth and by providing pension products that meet the needs of employees and employers;
• A professional and reliable reputation through sound business operations, a balanced weighing of interests and a good relationship with stakeholders.

How does PNO Media invest responsibly?

The contributions paid by employers and employees are the building blocks for the pensions we pay out. To be able to offer our participants a good pension at an acceptable contribution, we need to invest the contributions that are being paid in. However, a good pension is worth more if you can enjoy it in a better world. That is why we invest the contributions responsibly.

We invest in a transparent manner and at an acceptable risk. Moreover, we do not invest our capital in companies or countries with unacceptable standards on freedom of the press, working conditions and the environment. With our investments, we want to contribute to a more liveable world and help combat poverty, inequality and climate change.

How is PNO Media organised?

PNO Media has a management board with various committees, a supervisory board and an accountability body. In addition to internal supervision, large financial organisations such as pension funds are also subjected to extensive external supervision.

PNO Media applies a one-tier joint committee model. This means that employers and employees are equally represented on our management board, with an independent chairman of the board, 3 executive board members and 7 non-executive monitoring board members representing pension beneficiaries.

PNO Media acts as a self-administrating pension organisation.
