For the Environment
Supporting Our Local Environment
Each year, thousands of colleagues participate in our voluntary employee engagement program to support environmental stewardship, called Our Green Impact. The program offers colleagues on-site and virtual environmental opportunities. At our offices, volunteer Green Teams bring this program to life by organizing events, campaigns and education sessions.

Partnering for Impact
MetLife seeks to learn from others and collaborate on impactful environmental action. We engage and support several environmental industry and enterprise groups.
As part of our participation in the Geneva Association, MetLife executives contributed insights to research on climate-related risk exposure for health and life insurers. The white paper—Climate Change: What does the future hold for health and life insurance?—also offered a framework for examining the link between climate change and human health.
In MetLife’s third year of collaboration with the Haas School of Business at the University of California, Berkeley, on the Cleantech to Market accelerator program, nearly 40 MetLife employees across six markets volunteered to support students in their research and presentations. The program pairs interdisciplinary teams of Berkeley graduate students with promising startups to accelerate commercialization of climate tech innovations.
