Unilever Germany follows peers with funded scheme

Unilever Germany has established a new pension scheme that will partially fund pension liabilities previously met directly from company assets. The news follows similar moves by other German companies.

Unilever's new pension platform, a so-called contractual trust arrangement, last July received an initial sum of €300m ($468.2m) to start covering the company's €850m of unfunded German pension liabilities, according to mandate-tracking service Mandatewire.
