Sun Life’s Long-standing Commitment to Sustainability

For over 128 years, Sun Life has prioritized sustainability not only within its Philippine office but also as part of the global organization. Benedict Sison, CEO & Country Head of Sun Life Philippines, emphasized the company’s alignment with sustainability goals and its engagement in philanthropic and environmental initiatives. He stated, “As a life insurance and asset management business, we are naturally aligned with sustainability goals apart from pursuing philanthropic and environmental projects.”

Aligned with United Nations Sustainable Development Goals

Sun Life’s commitment to sustainability is demonstrated through initiatives that support the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. The company focuses on areas where it can have the most positive social and environmental impact, including Increasing Financial Security, Fostering Healthier Lives, Advancing Sustainable Investing, Operating as a Trusted and Responsible Business, and Uplifting Communities.

Sison highlighted Sun Life’s dedication to creating a positive impact and empowering Filipinos to achieve financial security and healthier living for future generations. He said, “We aspire for our people and our solutions to make a difference in Filipino lives, empowering them to achieve financial security and healthier living for generations to come.”

Financial Independence Month: Empowering Filipinos

Continuing its mission to enhance financial security among Filipinos, Sun Life is once again celebrating June as Financial Independence Month. The company aims to empower individuals through relevant and engaging content that conveys the message, “Freedom starts with a choice. Kaya mo ‘yan!” (You can do it!)

Carla Gonzalez-Chong, Chief Client Experience and Marketing Officer of Sun Life, emphasized the significance of Financial Independence Month, stating, “Our rallying cry for this year shows our confidence in the Filipinos’ power to bring their goals to life.” She expressed Sun Life’s commitment to support individuals on their journey towards financial freedom and the vision of helping Filipinos achieve lifetime financial security.

Inspiring Short Films and Learning Modules

To inspire and motivate individuals, Sun Life has produced four short films created by its in-house team of young creatives. These films share heartwarming stories of Filipinos who made the choice to take control of their future and realize their goals:

  • “Sinag” by Mei Solis tells the story of a daughter struggling to connect with her Overseas Filipino mother until they discover a shared goal of being together for good.
  • “Kulay” by Casey Borja explores the world of a child on the autism spectrum who brings hope to his business-owner father during a crucial time.
  • “Ngayon at Bukas” by JC Manzano depicts the struggle of a son in search of his path, which unexpectedly leads him to his father’s humble barber shop.
  • “Para Sa Akin” by Bea Aguilera humorously portrays how a string of bad luck can ironically lead to finding a bright partner.

Starting from June 19, these films will be available on www.sunlife.co/KayaMoYan. Complementing the films, Sun Life is offering free learning modules for individuals seeking to build their financial portfolio. The message will be further amplified through content on Sun Life’s social platforms, including @SunLifePH on Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok.
