Manulife's impact agenda

April 2023

Manulife is a company with heart.  We know that with our size and scope, we can effect real change and move the needle on some of society's most pressing issues.

IGP is a global business division of Manulife Financial Corporation, and Manulife Canadian Division is our Network Partner for employee benefits in Canada.

Over the years, Manulife has never shied away from supporting important environmental, social, and governance issues and in the process, has established itself as an organization with a proven track record of action.

At Manulife, this is our reason for being. It is core to who we are and the journey we’re on.

As a health and wealth company, staying true to our Mission through our Impact Agenda is how we create long-term value for our business, our communities, and the planet. It’s how we all win.

We’ve committed ourselves and our resources to continue making lives better through three interconnected areas of focus, each with goals, commitments, and actions:

• Empowering sustained health and well-being to support the journey towards a better life.
• Driving inclusive economic opportunities to create a more even playing field for all.
• Accelerating a sustainable future to preserve the planet we all share.

The Impact Agenda outlines our key social and environmental commitments, in areas where we have the greatest ability to affect change. It serves as a lens we use to guide our efforts and our decisions about the future of our business and is rooted in the belief that our collective actions drive meaningful change.

As a health and wealth company, empowering physical and financial well-being creates business value while achieving strong societal benefits. That’s why we’re making it easy for anyone to choose healthier behaviors and smarter financial solutions. We will continue to innovate and scale our behavioral insurance, elevate the mental health and well-being of our people, and drive financial security to help lay the essential foundation of a good life for all.

In business and in life, we are stronger when we have a diversity of perspectives. To help open up opportunities for all, we’re accelerating the upward mobility of underrepresented groups and making financial solutions more accessible. By increasing representation of women and communities of color, we can help even the playing field and give everyone a fair shot at success.

As a health and wealth company, it’s natural that we are working to protect and restore our environment. We understand people can’t be healthy if they live on an unhealthy planet.

Climate change is impacting our ability to breathe clean air, access safe drinking water, and safeguard against natural disasters. That’s why we’re doing our part to support the transition to a net zero economy, reducing our emissions, and providing nature-based solutions to help preserve the planet we all share.
