Sustainability

As a business, we are stronger when people and the planet thrive. Manulife recognizes the threats posed by climate change to our business, public health, and the livelihoods of the communities in which we operate and the urgent need to preserve the quality of our natural environment.

This includes how we manage our operations, how we make investment decisions, and how we develop and offer financial products and services.

Our Community Investment initiatives and partnerships aim to foster healthier, more equitable communities across the three interconnected strategic focus areas of our Impact Agenda.

We focus on programmatic funding, research funding, and providing resiliency and recovery services in the face of natural disasters.

Our strategy prioritises funding organisations that share our values and utilize data to measure and report on their progress and impact. Our approach takes many forms, including direct funding, employee giving and matching programs, and volunteering, which leverage skills-based activities.

Our sustainability governance framework enables us to achieve our sustainability objectives across our global franchise, facilitating easier and more strategic decision-making within the context of our business objectives.
