Business Wire
MetLife, Inc. (NYSE: MET) today announced that, for the fifth
year in a row, it has been named to the Dow Jones Sustainability
Index (DJSI) North America, in recognition of its commitment to
sustainable business practices.
The Index is a widely recognized standard for measuring and
advancing corporate environmental, social, and governance (ESG)
practices across all industries. DJSI North America recognizes the
top 20% sustainability performers among the 600 largest U.S. and
Canadian companies. MetLife was one of only six insurers in North
America to make the list.
“Expectations of companies to make a positive social impact and
operate responsibly have grown dramatically over the past year,”
said MetLife President and CEO Michel Khalaf. “MetLife continues to
rise to the challenge. For over 152 years, we have been building a
more confident future for all of our stakeholders. We remain
committed to embedding sustainability into all we do so we can live
our purpose long into the future.”
MetLife’s recognition by DJSI builds on a number of recent ESG
milestones:
- MetLife was the first U.S.-based life insurer to join the U.N.
Global Compact, the world’s largest corporate sustainability
initiative.
- MetLife announced 11 new 2030 Environmental Goals aimed at
reducing the environmental impact of the company’s global
operations and supply chain, while leveraging its investments,
products, and services to help protect communities and drive
innovative solutions.
- MetLife created a Sustainable Financing Framework, which aligns
MetLife’s business and investment activities to support and drive a
more sustainable future, and was the first insurer to issue a green
funding agreement (FA)-backed note.
- MetLife Foundation committed an additional $5 million over
three years to advance racial equity in the U.S., which supplements
the $10 million in annual contributions it already makes to support
diverse communities and racial equity.
