Sun Life welcomes diversity of all kinds – gender, race, religion, age, country of origin, sexual orientation, neurodiversity and ability. We encourage and support diverse perspectives and beliefs. We continue to innovate and evolve when it comes to DE&I. While we have already taken important steps and earned external recognition for our diverse and inclusive practices, we’re advancing in our journey to becoming a more diverse and inclusive workplace.
Our Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Strategy 2025 sets three pillars to enhance and evolve our efforts:
1. Learning: The foundation of our strategy is research. We’re using data-driven insights and employee feedback to learn where barriers exist and where to focus our efforts. And we’re using advanced metrics to measure our progress along the way.
2. Building: We’re continuing to foster a respectful culture with inclusive policies, programs and education. Sun Life is developing new practices and finding opportunities to improve existing ones so they work for everyone.
3. Leading: We’re creating tools and practices that empower leaders to lead by example and raise awareness of DE&I opportunities and challenges. We’re focused on ownership and accountability.
We set 2025 as a milestone year, with specific aspirational goals and outcomes we're aiming to achieve. But improving on DE&I isn’t work that ever gets finished. It’s an ongoing process that we'll continue to adapt and grow as needed.
