Our Sustainability Aspirations
MetLife's New Frontier Sustainability Aspirations support our strategy and make sure our progress has a positive impact for all. Our Aspirations focus on two areas—Employee Engagement and Climate.
Sustainability and New Frontier
Aligned with our New Frontier strategy, sustainability at MetLife means managing business responsibly and driving long-term value for all our stakeholders.
For our customers, we offer products and services that support their financial well-being, innovate to create solutions that meet their unique needs and make investments that help us keep our financial promises. For our people, we provide a purpose-driven and inclusive culture, prioritize skills development, and offer opportunities for professional growth. For our communities, we help create economic opportunity and volunteer our time and resources to support areas of critical need. And for all our stakeholders, we seek to protect the environment in ways that support health and well-being. By deploying the strength of our people, products, services and investments to deliver on our promises, we continue to deliver value to our shareholders.
Employee Engagement
MetLife believes that fostering a purpose-driven and inclusive culture is essential to attracting, engaging and energizing employees to make a difference- both at work and in the communities we serve.

Aspiration

Net Zero
MetLife recognizes that environmental challenges can affect the well-being and financial future of our employees, our communities, our customers and our shareholders. Protecting human health, preserving natural resources and addressing climate issues are integral to how we drive sustainable growth and create long-term value for our stakeholders. MetLife is working to increase efficiencies, reduce risks and deliver sustainable growth, supported by an ambition to work toward Net Zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions for our operations and MetLife’s general account (GA) investment portfolio by 2050 or sooner.3 MetLife recognizes that reaching Net Zero emissions depends not only on its own actions, but also on broader market conditions, counterparty participation, regulatory developments across jurisdictions, and continued advancements in data availability, tools and technology.
