Net Zero

MetLife recognizes that environmental challenges can affect the well-being and financial future of our employees, our customers, our communities 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. For years, MetLife has applied a range of strategies to reduce emissions generated by its operational footprint. MetLife is working to increase efficiencies, reduce risks and deliver sustainable growth while making progress toward its interim targets. 
 
This aspiration builds on our longstanding history of environmental stewardship, which entails working toward an inclusive, resilient and thriving environment for present and future generations. To help reduce emissions to as close to zero as possible in the coming decades, we are focusing on MetLife, Inc.’s global owned and leased offices and vehicle fleets, employee business travel, supply chain and certain assets in MetLife’s GA investment portfolio, which includes the general accounts of MetLife, Inc.’s wholly owned insurance company subsidiaries.
 
MetLife has voluntarily produced and publicly disclosed an inventory of GHG emissions from our operations for years. While reliable methodologies and data sets pertaining to certain emissions are not available at this time, we are committed to improving our data quality and tracking capabilities as standards and methodologies continue to evolve. Emissions calculations are informed by the GHG Protocol and Partnership for Carbon Accounting Financials, unless otherwise directed by regulators. 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.
