MetLife Life Insurance Company, led by CEO Dirk Osteen, has recently been recognized as a "Health Management Excellence Corporation 2026" in the large corporations category, a prestigious designation awarded by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry and the Japan Health Conference. This achievement marks the eighth consecutive year that MetLife has received this esteemed recognition since the program's inception in 2019.

The Health Management Excellence Corporation accreditation system was established in 2017 to promote and visualize health management practices within large and small corporations alike. By being acknowledged in this way, organizations can enhance their societal perception among employees, job seekers, related businesses, and financial institutions. It serves as an important framework for companies aiming to create a healthier workplace culture.

As part of its commitment to sustainability, MetLife emphasizes the importance of creating a conducive work environment for its employees. With the motto "Walking together towards a more certain future" at its core, the company aligns its sustainability initiatives with five key challenges. Among these challenges is the endeavor to foster a workplace where employees can thrive in good health and contribute meaningfully over the long term.

To achieve this, MetLife has implemented various supportive measures for employees and their families. These initiatives include promoting regular health check-ups and comprehensive medical examinations, targeted health guidance for employees aged 35 and older, offering free dental check-ups, encouraging the reduction of long working hours, supporting smoking cessation programs, and promoting the use of sports clubs. Alongside these activities, MetLife has also introduced web services geared towards enhancing health and continuously provides health information through online content.

Through these measures, MetLife aims to empower each employee to assess their health status accurately and take essential steps toward improvement. The company considers the physical and mental well-being of its employees and their families as vital assets and actively promotes health management in conjunction with its health insurance association under the "MetLife Life Health Management Declaration."

Looking ahead, MetLife is committed to continuing these efforts to deliver high value to its customers and society at large.
