MANAGING RESPONSIBLY
Sustainable Financing Framework
MetLife’s Sustainable Financing Framework facilitates alignment of our business and investment activities to drive a sustainable future (see Creating Value as an Investor). The Framework guides our issuances of green, social and sustainable bonds, term loans, preferred stock, subordinated notes and funding agreements by MetLife, Inc. and its subsidiaries, including Metropolitan Life Insurance Company and Metropolitan Tower Life Insurance Company.
MetLife’s Sustainable Financing Council, comprising members from the Office of the Chief Investment Officer, Corporate Treasury and Global Sustainability functions, meets regularly and is responsible for the review and selection of eligible assets. Eligible assets are subject to a review consistent with MetLife’s policies, including MIM’s ESG Investment Policy.
As part of the Framework, MetLife has committed to publishing an annual Sustainable Financing Report, which includes a summary of outstanding MetLife Sustainable Financing issuances, including issuance date, size, maturity date, currency and format. The 2021 Sustainable Financing Report is available here.
Learn more about the Framework and see Creating Value as an Investor for information regarding two issuances completed in accordance with MetLife’s Sustainable Financing Framework.
