MetLife is committed to supporting employee needs and interests — first and foremost, staying healthy in mind and body. We also organize free activities that encourage good health and well-being. In April 2018, we launched our first annual “Wellness for Life Week” initiative with employees in more than 20 countries taking part. Group activities included fitness programs, community service projects, healthy eating events and mindfulness training. Throughout the year, employees joined more than 500 wellness activities and events through our Wellness for Life program.
Launched in 2015, the Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTI) champions science-based carbon reduction target setting.
Science-based targets (SBTs) specify how much and how quickly companies need to reduce GHG emissions to avoid a global
temperature increase when compared to pre-industrial levels. The SBTI framework is the most comprehensive and rigorous
available to companies seeking to rapidly decarbonize, and the SBTI also offers resources, workshops and guidance to reduce
barriers to sustainable action.
For more than 150 years, we have worked to build a more protected world by providing services and products that help our customers meet their financial needs and live fuller, more secure lives. Through other direct and indirect economic activities, including investments, job creation, benefit payouts and tax payments, MetLife also positively impacts millions of individuals and helps grow local economies.
Making a Global Impact: Our Corporate Responsibility Strategy: At MetLife, we see our role as building a more protected world in a time of unprecedented change. The company’s commitment to corporate responsibility is integral to this core business purpose. We deliver on this commitment in many ways: through the security we provide customers, the claims we pay during their times of need, our activities in the communities that we serve, and long-term investments in the broader economy. Our goal is to responsibly deliver long-term value for all stakeholders as we navigate life together.
WeWork, a company that provides shared workspaces, has taken a stand on sustainability. It has committed to carbon neutrality by 2023, and it has stopped serving meat to its employees as well as reimbursing them for meals that contain meat—because of concerns about the environment and animal welfare.
We recently analyzed three years of data from the Charles Schwab Pro Bono Challenge and are excited to share the results of this program for the nonprofits, employees and the communities it supports. Our new paper - Making Long-Term Impact through a Day of Service – shares data, case studies and lessons learned from our work with the Charles Schwab Pro Bono Challenge and is available to help organizations find new ways to engage volunteers in shorter-term skilled engagements that provide measurable longer-term results
