Our Sustainability Commitments

metlife

Sustainability is central to our business strategy and is ingrained across our operations. With the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs) as a guide, we are deploying the full strength of our people, products, services and investments to sustain our customers, our colleagues, our communities and our shareholders.

To truly foster people’s health and well-being, we must reduce inequalities, including advancing gender equality. To drive economic growth and opportunity in our communities, we must invest in a more resilient planet. By making clear commitments, we can track, measure and demonstrate progress toward ambitious goals.

This ambition is part of our overall business strategy to create long-term value for employees, customers, shareholders and the communities where we operate. For MetLife, this means working toward an inclusive, resilient and thriving environment for present and future generations. As a purpose-driven company, we continue to adapt to meet the needs of a rapidly changing world. MetLife's Net Zero commitment builds on our longstanding history of environmental stewardship. This includes addressing climate change and supporting a just transition to a low-carbon economy, which requires collective action from diverse stakeholders. Our commitment is supported by a holistic approach, interim targets and other key initiatives intended to help improve the environment.
