MetLife, Inc. (NYSE: MET) today announced that it has been named
to the Bloomberg Gender-Equality Index for the sixth year in a row,
in recognition of its efforts to support gender parity through
employee policies, representation, and transparency.
Bloomberg measures publicly traded companies across five
dimensions: female leadership and talent pipeline, equal pay and
gender pay parity, inclusive culture, sexual harassment policies,
and pro-women brand.
“Gender equity is central to MetLife’s purpose and serves as a
driver of innovation, collaboration, and business results,” said
MetLife President and CEO Michel Khalaf. “We’re proud of this
recognition and committed to further accelerating the advancement
of women in the workplace and society.”
Through its Gender Equity Initiative, MetLife is building a
sustainable, diverse, equitable and inclusive company by addressing
gender diversity in four focus areas: leadership, workplace,
marketplace and community. The initiative includes an ongoing
assessment of gender diversity data, provides inclusion and
bias-mitigation learning, and offers women a variety of career
development programs, workplace policies, and benefits that support
flexibility and work-life integration.
MetLife also aims to reduce barriers and drive growth for
women-owned businesses through its Supplier Inclusion and
Development program, which supports innovation in the company’s
supply chain and provides mentorship that helps expand the pool of
qualified diverse suppliers. In addition, MetLife Foundation works
to expand opportunities for low-income women across the world
through its partnership with groups such as Change Machine, Hot
Bread Kitchen, SwissContact, and Laboratoria.
MetLife was the first U.S-based insurer to sign the U.N. Women’s
Empowerment Principles (WEPs) and works with other external
initiatives such as the U.N. Women Global Innovation Coalition for
Change, Catalyst’s Gender and Diversity KPI Alliance (GDKA) and CEO
