Business Wire
MetLife, Inc. (NYSE:MET) announced today that it has been named
to the 2015 “100 Best Corporate Citizens" List by Corporate
Responsibility (CR) Magazine. This is the first time MetLife has
been named to the influential list.
The 100 Best Corporate Citizens ranking is based on a company’s
disclosure, policies and performance across seven areas: climate
change, employee relations, environmental, financial, governance,
human rights, and philanthropy and community support. Companies
from the Russell 1000 index are evaluated on publicly available
data sources covering 298 factors. All data are collected and
analyzed by IW Financial, a financial analysis firm serving the
Environment, Social, Governance (ESG) investment community.
“I’m proud that MetLife has been named to the ‘100 Best
Corporate Citizens’ list for the very first time,” said Chairman,
President and CEO Steve Kandarian. “Our customers, employees and
shareholders expect us to operate as a good corporate citizen, and
we are committed to meeting that standard – just as we have for
nearly 150 years.”
MetLife is earning increased recognition for its corporate
responsibility efforts. In September 2014, the company published
its first corporate social responsibility report adhering to
globally accepted standards for sustainability reporting, after
which MetLife rose from 10th place to second place in its sector on
Bloomberg’s Environmental, Social and Governance rankings.
In February of 2015, MetLife was named the No. 1 in the life and
health insurance sector on Fortune magazine’s “Most Admired
Companies” list. This was the first time the company led all peers
on this ranking.
