Manulife Financial offers me a future but no e-statements (like 125 years ago)

Manulife has the nerve to offer me a "future" -- while acting like a company born in 1887.    

They do not offer e-statements via email or on their website, at least not for my group RRSP. I would not lose much sleep over this first world problem but it was still very surprising that a Canadian financial institution would not offer electronic statements in 2012!  That they would squander such an easy green-washing opportunity and not even pretend that they care a little bit about not chopping down trees while reducing their costs!  


Out of curiousity, I went to their website's CSR section.  The first paragraph reads: 

Manulife’s approach to corporate social responsibility around the world aligns with our focus on delivering strong, reliable, trustworthy and forward-thinking solutions for our clients and for the communities where we work. 

Forward-thinking solutions? In Manulife-speak, it means smoke flares.
