(32) IORPs are pension institutions with a social purpose that provide financial services. They are responsible for the provision of occupational retirement benefits and should therefore meet certain minimum prudential standards with respect to their activities and conditions of operation, taking into account national rules and traditions. However, such institutions should not be treated as purely financial service providers. Their social function and the triangular relationship between the employee, the employer and the IORP should be adequately acknowledged and supported as guiding principles of this Directive.
