About Brighter You
We’re committed to creating meaningful and positive impact in the communities where we operate by helping people to increase their financial security and live healthier lives.We have initiated and supported a diverse range of programmes under the ‘Brighter You’ philanthropy programme which reflects our commitment to uplifting individuals and communities and at the same time, empowering them to shine brighter in every aspect – financially, mentally, and physically.
To foster a more sustainable and healthier community, we collaborate with community-based and non-profit organisations, actively encouraging our employees to volunteer their time and talents for these initiatives.
Supporting Financial Literacy
We want to empower more people to take positive steps to improve their financial security through quality advice and solutions, supported by financial education and Takaful knowledge for a financially fit future.
Key initiatives:
- We launched ‘Earn.Save.Protect’, a financial literacy board game, to teach the basics of saving, earning, and protecting money in a fun, accessible way. We’ve reached over 1,000 students with support from 130 Sun Life Malaysia employee volunteers.
- We share practical tips and insights through articles, videos, podcasts, and community events including an award sponsorship to champion female financial empowerment.
Contributing to Diabetes Prevention
We aspire to slow the advance of diabetes through increasing the awareness of type 2 diabetes prevention, management and care. We believe by providing the right knowledge, tools and tips, we can help people take actions to manage and prevent type 2 diabetes.
Some of our signature programmes:
- Nationwide blood glucose screening programme to promote early awareness and prevention of diabetes with over 35,000 Malaysian adults screened since the programme began in 2019.
- In 2024, we provided health coaching support for 530 participants who undertook screenings, and extended diabetes access to 300 individuals from underserved communities.
- Reached over 16,000 individuals through the distribution of diabetes care packs since this initiative began in 2021, driving awareness around healthy living, balanced diets, and the importance of regular screenings.
- Since 2023 our regional Hoops + Health programme has helped young people across Asia to get active through basketball, with over 48,000 lives impacted including 1,800 in Malaysia.
- Sun In The City Wellness Festival – launched in 2024 to promote balance in mind, body, and finances. 350 participants joined the festival for a day of inspiration, learning, and healthy living.
- Brighter Wellness Programme, an ongoing awareness and engagement initiative designed to help Malaysians live healthier lives – financially, physically and mentally. Over 1,000 individuals have registered for the activities since the initiative was introduced in 2021.
