MetLife Earns 2021 ENERGY STAR ‘Sustained Excellence’ Award - Seite 2

These tailored plans include the deployment of MetLife’s MetZero program across the company’s MIM-managed real estate portfolio, which is designed to achieve carbon neutrality across the company’s real estate investment portfolios. Using a Carbon Cascade approach, MetZero reduces carbon through various programs including energy efficiency, on-site and off-site renewables, and the purchase of renewable energy credits (RECs) and offsets.

Since 2016, MetLife has achieved carbon neutrality annually for its global offices, fleet, and business travel.

Recognition from ENERGY STAR builds on a number of MetLife’s sustainability milestones, including:

• MetLife was the first U.S.-based life insurer to join the U.N. Global Compact, the world’s largest voluntary corporate sustainability initiative.
• MetLife has earned a spot on the Dow Jones Sustainability North America Index for five years in a row.
• MetLife established a Sustainable Financing Framework (SFF), further aligning its business and investment activities to support a more sustainable future. The SFF led to MetLife issuing the U.S. insurance industry’s first “green” funding agreement-backed note, a $750 million issuance.
