Sun Life Foundation earns recognition at LCF’s 2026 CSR Guild Awards

Sun Life Financial-Philippines Foundation, Inc. (Sun Life Foundation) was  recently recognized for its commitment to environmental sustainability at the 2026 CSR Guild Awards  ceremony held in Mandaluyong City. 

The CSR Guild Awards honors exceptional corporate sustainability programs. It is organized by the League  of Corporate Foundations, a network of corporate foundations and corporations dedicated to advancing  CSR practices in the Philippines. 

Sun Life Foundation was named a Finalist under the Outstanding CSR Project in Environment category for  the Food Shed Farming Enterprise, a collaboration with the World Wide Fund for Nature-Philippines that  constructs food sheds in remote areas. 

Capable of food production year-round, these food sheds provide local residents with sustainable  livelihoods and promote food security through improved access to affordable, healthy, locally produced  food. To promote program sustainability, the initiative also integrates financial education and formation  of community-managed savings and loans associations. As of 2026, the collaboration has established  sheds in over a dozen climate-vulnerable communities across the provinces of Albay, Negros Oriental, and  Surigao del Norte. 

“This recognition inspires us to continue advancing environmental sustainability in ways that support and  empower Filipinos,” said Joy Castillo, Chief Operating Officer of Sun Life Grepa Financial, Inc. and Sun Life  Foundation President. “We are grateful to WWF-Philippines and our partner communities for sharing our  vision of a brighter, more climate-resilient nation and working with us to create solutions that generate  

lasting impact.”

As the philanthropic arm of Sun Life Philippines, the country’s first and longest-standing life insurance  company, Sun Life Foundation helps uplift Filipino lives by supporting programs focused on health,  education, and environmental sustainability.
