Our 2030 Sustainability Commitments
MetLife’s 2030 climate goals1 were established in 2020, making 2021 the first year we are reporting progress against them. We recently announced 2030 DEI goals designed to address the needs of the underserved and underrepresented through our investments, products and services, supply chain, volunteering and community efforts. We will report progress against these goals in future sustainability reports.
