MetLife Recognized for Hispanic Inclusion 2022

NEW YORK, December 6, 2022 /3BL Media/ - MetLife, Inc. announced that, for the 11th consecutive year, it has been recognized by the Hispanic Association on Corporate Responsibility (HACR) for its success in promoting Hispanic inclusion. In addition, MetLife was named by LATINA Style Inc. as one of the 50 best companies for Latinas to work in the U.S. for the 14th year in a row.

“MetLife’s purpose inspires us to build a more inclusive and equitable world as we focus on achieving our 2030 DEI commitments,” said Jeannette Pina, senior vice president, U.S. and Latin America Compliance, and co-chair of MetLife’s LatConexión Hispanic Inclusion Network. “As co-chair of LatConexión, we’re very proud of our commitment to talent stewardship and promoting the growth of diversity, equity and inclusion at MetLife.”

The annual HACR Award for Corporate Inclusion is given to companies based on the results of the HACR Corporate Inclusion Index. The index measures Hispanic inclusion in the areas of employment, procurement, philanthropy, and governance.

The annual LATINA Style 50 Report is one of the most respected sources of corporate America’s career advancement opportunities for Latinas and sets the standard for identifying companies that are providing the best career opportunities in the country.
