메트라이프, 지속가능경영 연례보고서 발표

메트라이프는 지난 6월 17일에 지속가능경영 보고서에서 메트라이프와 메트라이프재단이 총 2억 5천만 달러 이상을 COVID-19 구호 및 지원에 사용했다고 공시했습니다.

보고서에서 괄목할 만한 또 다른 사실은 메트라이프가 운용 중인 책임있는 투자 (Responsible Investments) 포트폴리오의 규모가 2018년 520억 달러에서 2019년 580 억 달러로 전년 대비 10% 이상 증가하였다는 점입니다.

언제나 당신과 함께, 더 든든한 미래를 위해

메트라이프 대표이사인 미셸 할라프 (Michel Khalaf) 사장은 “메트라이프는 좀 더 지속가능한 세상을 만들기 위해 늘 노력합니다”라고 말했습니다. “이것이 지난 152년간 메트라이프 비즈니스의 본질이었습니다. 우리는 개인, 가족, 사회가 지속할 수 있는 장기적인 약속을 하고 또 그 약속을 지켜 왔습니다. 또한 경제적 번영을 지속할 수 있는 장기적인 투자를 하고 있습니다.”

Creating Value as an Investor

MetLife is committed to delivering long-term sustainable value for all our stakeholders as we navigate a time of unprecedented change together. MetLife also includes our institutional investment management business, MetLife Investment Management (MIM), which manages MetLife’s general account portfolio. MIM aims to deliver risk-adjusted returns for our investors by building tailored portfolio solutions that encompass environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria. Institutional investors turn to MIM for its long-established experience in combining a client-centric approach with deep asset class expertise.

Empowering Our Communities

MetLife employees contribute to improving local communities through a variety of volunteer activities across education, the environment, and financial health programs. Our employees revitalize parks, plant trees, create care packages, tutor students, and use their day-to-day expertise to improve financial health for people and communities that are underserved. They act as mentors to fintechs, pro bono consultants for our grantees, and help families build their greatest asset — their home.

Protecting Our Environment

MetLife has a longstanding commitment to environmental stewardship, and we are proud to be the first U.S. insurer to achieve carbon neutrality — an achievement we have maintained for the past four years. This year, we were able to achieve our other environmental commitments, including more than doubling our goal to reduce energy and GHG emissions by 10% by 2020. We also are one of the top 10% of companies to achieve a Leadership grade (A-) on climate change in the annual CDP Investor Report, also for the fourth consecutive year. While we worked hard for these accomplishments and are proud of them, we continue to seek additional ways to reduce our footprint and build resiliency in a changing world.

Managing Sustainability

How we manage ourselves and our impacts as an employer, community member, and business and market leader is critical in fulfilling our purpose.

Risk management, governance, ethics and integrity underpin our company’s ability to build a more confident future and enables us to deliver on the promises we make to our customers, employees, and shareholders. We work hard to instill a culture where every employee takes responsibility for risk management and understands their role in driving MetLife’s success.
