Sustainability commitment

As an asset manager, we have a responsibility to act in the best interest of our investors. This forms the cornerstone of all our investment activities and supports our responsible investing initiatives and efforts. 

We believe that environmental, social, and governance considerations, namely in the selection and oversight of our subadvisors, help broaden and deepen our analysis. We believe this is a prerequisite to shaping authentic investment solutions that align with investor values or SLGI’s mission, without compromising on performance.

Climate change is one of the most pressing issues of our time, and we all have an important role to play in supporting this significant economic and environmental transition.

Signing onto the Net Zero Asset Managers initiative, focusing on engagement instead of divestment, and directing capital towards investment solutions that help address climate change are a few ways that demonstrate our efforts in the global fight against climate change.

We are committed to helping investors express their values through their investment choices through a wide range of investment solutions. We are also committed to preserving the long-term integrity of our managed solutions.

These efforts also mean proactively working to raise familiarity and comfort with sustainability-focused solutions and solutions aligned with net zero emissions by 2050.

*Sustainable investment solutions refer to sustainability-focused solutions as well as investment solutions offered or utilized by Sun Life Global Investments that embed ESG as part of the investment objectives.

Diversity, equity & inclusion (DEI) continues to be a strategic focus for our organization. Our employee led DE&I committee implements activities to deepen our impact, executes on key initiatives and tracks our progress. We believe DE&I unleashes creativity, fosters innovation and drives value. Above all, it’s the right thing to do – for our employees, our clients and our communities.

Meaningful and lasting progress requires collective, multilateral efforts.

We continue to work towards greater collaboration by engaging with our stakeholders—including employees, our retail and institutional audiences, and our subadvisors. We also participate in a number of industry activities in sustainability and sustainable investing as signatory, member, or expert contributor on select topics.

Informing and inspiring a more sustainable future starts by turning ambition into action.

Holding ourselves accountable, reporting on our progress and maintaining transparency are all ways we hope to lead by example and drive change across the industry and communities.
