For the third consecutive year, Sun Life Financial Inc. was named one of the Global 100 Most Sustainable Corporations in the World. Announced today at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, the listing ranks corporations by analyzing extra-financial drivers of risk and shareholder value.

“Once again, Sun Life Financial is proud to be named one of the 100 Most Sustainable Corporations in the World,” said Donald Stewart, CEO, Sun Life Financial. “This honour reflects our ability to create shareholder value while recognizing the important social, environmental and corporate governance context in which we operate internationally.”

Developed by Corporate Knights with Innovest Strategic Value Advisors Inc., the ranking recognizes those corporations that have the best developed abilities to identify and effectively manage environmental, social and governance risks and to take advantage of new business opportunities in this area.

Sun Life Financial is one of only five Canadian corporations named to the Global 100 list, and has maintained its position since the ranking’s inception in 2005.
