SCORECARD ITEM Y/ N Reference / Source document 1) Easy to do business with We are committed to making it easy for Clients to do business with us. We’re making our products more accessible. We’re creating more opportunities to help Clients make informed decisions. And we’re improving the way we communicate with Clients. Plain language is our priority because we want Clients to easily understand our materials, plans and products. We want to help empower them to make the right choices by offering the clear, concise information they need. 2) Proactive contact We are both increasing and personalizing our outreach so that we interact with our Clients more often. We do that in ways that make the most sense to each Client. That could be through an advisor, in person, or by phone, video-conference, email, digital apps, text or social media. 3) Problem resolution We view any issues that Clients may have as opportunities to create positive experiences. Across Sun Life, we have processes to handle concerns and complaints. For example, in Canada we have a four-step problem resolution process. Our goal is to resolve Client problems in the first step. However, when this isn’t possible, Clients can contact our internal Ombudsman’s Office, an independent complaint resolution body or regulator. Our social media team also tracks online comments and complaints. This team engages the proper Client Services representatives to respond directly to Clients within one business day. We have processes in place to ensure we also learn and

C.3.5 Does the company have a reward/compensation policy that accounts for the performance of the company beyond short-term financial measures?

YES Sun Life recognizes and rewards achievements and results in line with our “Pay for Performance” policy. Through your performance, you will be able to directly influence your compensation. Here, we reward exceptional job performance and provide support that would help you to accomplish goals. The Manual on Rewards and Compensation is available on SLGFI’s website. “Reward and Compensation Consistent with its goal to build a high performance culture, Sun Life Grepa espouses a “pay for performance” philosophy. The total reward package is designed to attract and retain high performing individuals, as well as to reinforce behaviors that support Sun Life Grepa’s short- and long-term objectives. There are two ways by which Sun Life Grepa clearly links pay to performance: the annual merit increase and the variable pay. The annual merit increase recognizes individual achievement of both business goals for the year and people/capability goals that build on the company’s capability and long term sustainability.” Source Documents: 2019 Annual Report (Page 29) https://www.sunlifegrepa.com/upload/files/SunLife%20Grepa%20Corporate%20Annual%20Report.pdf Compensation Policy Manual https://www.sunlifegrepa.com/upload/files/SLGFI%20Policy%20Manual%20-%20Compensation.pdf
