MetLife is the largest life insurance provider in the U.S. and serves 100 million customers in nearly 50 countries. MetLife’s revenues for 2021 were up almost 5% over 2020, to $71.1 billion, and profits rose 21.2%, as strong gains in the insurer’s investment portfolio helped offset the impact of high payouts for deaths related to COVID-19. In 2022, MetLife announced diversity, equity, and inclusion commitments that include spending $5 billion with diverse suppliers by 2030 and committing $150 million in funding through the MetLife Foundation to support underserved and underrepresented communities over that same time span.
