Global context and megatrends

Events and trends that influenced our sustainability actions in 2023

A concerning climate trajectory

Rapid growth of green energy

Increasing sustainability reporting regulations

Growing scrutiny over sustainability practices

The new normal for working

Intensifying affordability crisis

Global greenhouse gas emissions continue to rise. The goal of limiting global warming to 1.5 °C is at significant risk, prompting heightened pressure across all sectors to accelerate climate action and ensure resiliency. Climate change is quickly emerging as a defining force across the global economy.

Sun Life is committed to being a part of the climate solution. We're decarbonizing our business by integrating climate action into everything we do. By achieving net zero by 2050 in our operations and investments, we can have a meaningful and lasting positive impact on the environment. In 2023, Sun Life participated in COP28 to engage and collaborate with industry, government and other organizations on solutions to the climate challenge. To learn more, refer to pages 28-32 and 34-36.

In 2023, low-carbon energy investments nearly doubled investments in fossil fuels1. The International Energy Agency estimated that global renewable energy capacity will increase by over 30% in 20232. This annual growth in renewables represents the largest absolute increase ever.

Supporting the transition to the low-carbon economy, Sun Life is investing in sustainable innovation including green buildings, renewable energy and transportation infrastructure. Our goal is to invest $20 billion in new sustainable investments between 2021-2025. To learn more, refer to pages 28-32.

Regulators and policymakers across the world introduced comprehensive sustainability policies and regulations. Additionally, the International Sustainability Standards Board issued its inaugural standards with broad endorsement from the international community, including by the International Organization of Securities Commissions, as the new global standards for sustainability disclosures. As a result, companies will face additional, more complex disclosure requirements in numerous jurisdictions. They must identify risk areas, improve controls and implement stronger governance structures.

Sun Life is preparing to comply with federal regulations related to environmental, social and governance (ESG) topics and plans to enhance its disclosures in line with these regulations.

In line with increasing regulatory requirements for sustainability reporting, scrutiny over what companies disclose continues to grow - both over accuracy and impact. This trend is occurring across a range of sustainability topics including disclosures, climate, social issues, supply chain, human capital and diversity, equity and inclusion. In this climate, sustainability governance becomes increasingly more important.

Sun Life delivers consistent and transparent information on ESG topics. We maintain strong governance and rigorous disclosure practices to ensure we uphold the trust of our stakeholders. To learn more, refer to pages 3 and 11.

The future of work is here. Hybrid work arrangements and digital collaboration are no longer pandemic phenomena, but rather the new normal for workplaces. Companies are endeavouring to determine the optimal balance between virtual and in-office work. They will also need to adapt the tools they use and make the necessary investments to optimize outcomes in a hybrid work environment.

Sun Life is reimagining how and where we work to create flexibility for our people and business as we serve Clients. We are designing modern workspaces, adopting innovative collaboration tools and developing the talent on our teams to empower our modern workforce to thrive in the new era of hybrid work. To learn more, refer to pages 45-46.

People around the world are increasingly grappling with affordability challenges. The impacts have trickled down to the cost of essentials such as food, housing, transportation and electricity. Many families are struggling to make ends meet, while communities already underserved are being disproportionately affected.

Realizing our Purpose to help our Clients achieve lifetime financial security and live healthier lives is even more essential today. We're committed to continuously increasing access to insurance and wealth products, and health and dental care. We're also removing barriers - particularly for underserved communities. To learn more, refer to pages 14-15 and 17-19.

Message from our President and CEO

Sustainably-driven by our Purpose

For Sun Life, sustainability is critical to our culture and strategy, who we are and who we want to be in the future.

Having a long-term, positive impact for our Clients, colleagues, communities and climate means doing our part to drive change across Sun Life's business and investments. We're committed to being a Purpose-driven and sustainable company, one that cares for our Clients' financial security and health and the future of our planet.

As a globally trusted and responsible company, we know that embedding sustainability into ourbusiness - from our governance structure, policies and practices to our philanthropic work, training and reporting - creates resiliency and a brighter future. A future where individuals, families and communities are empowered to live healthier lives and be financially resilient.

While we're proud of our progress, there is work to do.

The landscape in which we operate has evolved over the past decade and continues to do so. In 2023, we experienced increasing geopolitical tensions, impacts of climate change and a warming world, and cyber threats. While the height of the pandemic is behindus, inflation, affordability and access to care continue to affect individuals and families around the world, but particularly those from underserved groups.

Through these challenges we leaned in, leveraging our scale, experience and resources to make Sun Life and society better. Throughout the year:

  • • We evolved our enterprise strategy, wrapping sustainability around everything we do to ensure it remains relevant, impactful and inclusive.

  • • We sharpened our focus on the climate, publishing interim net-zero targets for our general accountinvestments, reinforcing our commitment to reducing the climate impacts of the investments we own.

  • • We brought financial education programs to thousands across Sun Life's global footprint, especially in Asia.

  • • We made it easier for Clients and employees to understand and access culturally-relevant covered health expenses.

  • • We reached a new philanthropic milestone committing more than $50 million since 2012 to fight diabetes globally.

What we do, and how we do it, matters.

I'm encouraged by our progress, spurred by our talented and diverse teams who live Sun Life's Purpose and values every day. It's their work you'll see highlighted in our 2023 Sustainability Report and in action in your community.

Our journey is far from over. More collective energy, work and creativity is needed to drive sustainable solutions and create a lasting impact for current and future generations. By sharpening our strategic focus and scaling positive impact across our diverse

"We're committed to being a Purpose-driven and sustainable company, one that cares for our Clients' financial security and health and the future of our planet."

footprint, we'll accelerate our actions to go further and faster to continue to build resilience into our business.

My commitment is to use our expertise, experience and resources, and invest in developing and empowering our people, to create positive impacts that make life brighter under the sun.

Q&A with our Chief Sustainability Officer

It's been five years since Sun Life launched a comprehensive Sustainability Plan. Stepping back, what achievements on the journey stand out for you?

When I reflect on the past few years, I'm most proud of how the sustainability discipline at Sun Life has matured. Since 2019, the shift within the company has been incredible. We've moved from connecting the concept of sustainability to our core business and values, to more deeply embedding sustainability into everything we do. This shows up in so many ways - our enterprise strategy, our products and services, and the way we speak about our business. Above all, it's the way our leaders and employees see sustainability asfoundational to our long-term success. This will allow us to deliver in a way that is helpful for society and is a differentiator for our business.

Along the way, there have certainly been some big milestone initiatives. Whether it's our net-zero commitments within our operations and investments, our $20 billion sustainable investment target or starting our journey to achieve Progressive Aboriginal Relations certification, there's a lot to be proud of. While these are just some of the actions we've taken, what inspires me the most is the authentic commitment of our people across Sun Life - in Canada, the U.S. and our Asia businesses.

It sounds like a lasting internal culture shift has taken place?

There's a palpable difference, and I've observed a meaningful shift in mindset. I see our leaders and teams really 'digging in' to learn and apply the issues of sustainability and climate change in ways that are directly connected to our business. Every business group at Sun Life now has accountability for sustainability. That responsibility is leading us to think differently about how we create impact, who we partner with, as well as new operational approaches that strive to be better for our Clients, employees, shareholders and society as a whole.

You evolved your sustainability strategy five years on, why did you feel the need to do that?

It starts with the belief that sustainability is a journey, not a destination. As a leader in sustainability, we recognize the world has evolved in terms of the expectations on corporations and the important role we can play. This is particularly true when it comes to climate change. We also realize that sustainability continues to be a complex and rapidly evolving priority - whether that's the global regulatory environment or changing social norms in different geographies.

When we first developed the Sustainability Plan, the connection of climate change to our business wasn't as clear as it is today. That's why we didn't initially include it as a pillar. We also knew we needed to bring in the right resources to determine the most meaningful way to have an impact on climate change. Our actions need to be about real, legitimate resiliency and not just lip service. The challenge of climate change goes beyond emissions and net zero; it's about the company we want to be for the next 150 years.

Looking ahead, what are you most excited to see Sun Life achieve in the next five years?

We've made big strides in Sun Life's sustainability ambition and there's so much more we can do. The past few years have really been about building the foundation and critical capabilities to move our strategy forward. Now, we're in a terrific position to accelerate the execution of our plans. That includes fostering more innovation, building upon our robust disclosures and data, and improving measurable outcomes for our Clients and society. In particular, I think we have an opportunity to lead our industry in addressing the needs of underserved groups through our life, health and wealth offerings. It's a business opportunity with a positive impact that can truly be measured.

I remain more excited than ever about the future of sustainability at Sun Life. We have an amazing team, deep expertise and a Purpose-driven culture that is committed to creating a better future.
