Key Takeaways
MetLife formed a three-year partnership with Global Citizen to address urgent social issues.
MetLife Foundation pledged $9M to the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund for kids' education.
MET reported 3.9% premium growth and 6% revenue growth y/y in the first half of 2025.
MetLife, Inc. (MET - Free Report) has taken a significant step in aligning corporate responsibility and global development. It has announced a new partnership with Global Citizen, aimed at addressing urgent social issues and empowering underserved communities through economic and educational opportunities.
As part of the three-year partnership, the MetLife Foundation has committed $9 million to the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund. This fund is designed to expand access to quality education and sports for kids around the globe, an area MetLife Foundation has supported for decades through initiatives in financial literacy, STEM and skills training.
The company aims to help people and communities build more confident futures. Through this partnership, it will provide financial support, employee volunteer efforts and a global presence to enhance financial well-being and promote social equity on a large scale.
This partnership reflects MET’s increasing commitment to corporate social responsibility as a means to build long-term brand value and earn people’s trust. For MET, which operates in more than 40 global markets, this initiative could help strengthen community connections in emerging economies, where access to education and financial resources remains uneven.
This partnership could create a measurable impact beyond philanthropy. Programs focused on financial literacy and empowering communities can lead to strong local economies, which ultimately support long-term insurance and financial services growth. MET’s total premium rose 3.9% year over year in the first half of 2025, along with 6% growth in total revenues. This team-up also demonstrates the developing trend where global companies are actively leveraging their scale to drive systematic change rather than restricting themselves to profit-driven goals.
