For the Environment
Our Approach
As a financial services provider, we recognize that environmental challenges can affect the well-being and financial future of our customers, our colleagues and our communities. Protecting human health, preserving natural resources and addressing climate issues help us drive sustainable growth, mitigate risk and create long-term value for our stakeholders.
We are focused on an approach that reduces emissions over the coming decades, aiming for Net Zero GHG emissions across global operations and MetLife’s general account investment portfolio by 2050 or sooner.1 We manage and monitor climate and other environmental risks, impacts and opportunities while supporting solutions that advance the transition to a low-carbon economy.
Governance
The MetLife Board of Directors’ Governance and Corporate Responsibility Committee reviews policies and positions regarding environmental, social and governance matters of significance to the Company, its communities, shareholders and employees. The MetLife Board of Directors’ Audit Committee is responsible for the oversight of controls and procedures relating to financial information and non-financial data, including environmental data, in the Company’s disclosures. MetLife’s Chief Sustainability Officer and other senior leaders report progress on initiatives and programs to the Board multiple times per year.
We maintain policies and guidelines that provide information regarding our environmental efforts, including MetLife’s Environmental Policy Statement.
