PensionsEurope Alliances

Many important issues for pension funds and other IORP’s are increasingly international and even global, e.g., the international accounting standards and the development solvency rules and the financial market regulations affecting investments.

PensionsEurope co-operates at a global level with representative workplace pension organisations. 

In June 2013, we signed a protocol of co-operation together with four other organisations and formed the Global Pension Alliance. 

In 2017, the name was changed to the WORLD PENSION ALLIANCE.

The signatories were:

• American Benefits Council, the Council;
• European Association of Paritarian lnstitutions of Social Protection, AEIP;
• Multi-Employer Benefit Plans Council of Canada, MEBCO;
• National Coordinating Committee for Multiemployer Plans in the USA, NCCMP;
•  PensionsEurope.

The members of the World Pension Alliance agree:

1. to exchange ideas and experiences, to learn from each other, to promote best practices, and enable more effective communication and representation on issues of common interest;
2. to forward invitations to public events to other WPA members, such as conferences and seminars;
3. to increase the awareness of global issues of common interest and aim to enlarge further the World Pension Alliance.

So far, the World Pension Alliance has in practice worked together on e.g., financial market issues.

Every year, the World Pension Alliance organises its annual conference.
The last one took place in June 2023 and was organised by the National Coordinating Committee for Multiemployer Plans in the USA (NCCMP).
