Our promise, principles, and people

We’re working towards a better world now and for the future as part of the Definity family of companies. We strongly believe that we can have a positive impact on our environment, people, and communities. By working together, we can inspire positive change. With roots that date back to 1871, our goal remains the same, to always lend a helping hand. Although this might take on different forms, this principle is at the core of who we are.

Sonnet's promise

Our environment

The Earth is our home, and we need to do our part to protect it. We’re proud to be on track to achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2040 – or sooner. We can all adapt and thrive when we work together.

Our people

We’re an inclusive and diverse workplace. We’re committed to have at least 30% of women and 15% of individuals from equity-deserving groups at the Executive level by 2026. Because equity matters.

Our communities

It’s the people that make up a community – both within our team and beyond. We strongly believe in and promote a culture of volunteering, community investment, and financial wellness. These are the pillars that make up who we are.

Our principles

Act sustainably

We’re in it together to drive positive change for a greener planet. From stakeholders to employees – we all have a role to play in reducing our climate impact.

United together

A team wins together when we’re all involved. True success is when we collaborate and are engaged in meaningful work.

Change for better

We can inspire and create impactful change together with our local community. All it takes is one small step to get started.

Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG)

Our goal is to proactively manage our environmental, social, and governance risk and opportunities. This means supporting outcomes that make a difference while aligning with our values. We firmly believe that the small steps are just as important as the big ones. There’s never been a more important time to build trust and make connections with the people around you. The time is now. We all need to do our part for a better world; for today, tomorrow, and for the future.
