Hispanic Association on Corporate
Responsibility (HACR) and LATINA Style Inc. recognize MetLife for
excellence in Hispanic inclusion.
MetLife, Inc. (NYSE: MET) today announced that, for the 11th
consecutive year, it has been recognized by the Hispanic
Association on Corporate Responsibility (HACR) for its success
in promoting Hispanic inclusion. In addition, MetLife was named by
LATINA Style Inc. as one of the 50 best companies for
Latinas to work in the U.S. for the 14th year in a row.
“MetLife’s purpose inspires us to build a more inclusive and
equitable world as we focus on achieving our 2030 DEI commitments,”
said Jeannette Pina, senior vice president, U.S. and Latin America
Compliance, and co-chair of MetLife’s LatConexión Hispanic
Inclusion Network. “As co-chair of LatConexión, we’re very proud of
our commitment to talent stewardship and promoting the growth of
diversity, equity and inclusion at MetLife.”
The annual HACR Award for Corporate Inclusion is given to
companies based on the results of the HACR Corporate Inclusion
Index. The index measures Hispanic inclusion in the areas of
employment, procurement, philanthropy, and governance.
The annual LATINA Style 50 Report is one of the most respected
sources of corporate America’s career advancement opportunities for
Latinas and sets the standard for identifying companies that are
providing the best career opportunities in the country.
