A Message From Our President and CEO
Our commitment to sustainability is embedded in our company’s strategy and culture. Our mission is to help people achieve financial security. With more than 2 million customers1, we are proud that many people trust us to help protect what they’ve earned and ensure it lasts. The values displayed by our employees every day – collaboration, adaptability, and passion – shape how we make a positive impact on our distribution partners, their clients, and our communities.
Since becoming an independent, publicly traded company in 2017, we have focused on enhancing our sustainability strategy across our organization, including in the ways we develop and distribute our products; manage our investment portfolio; attract, develop, and retain our talent; support our communities and partners; and impact the environment.
Thank you for your interest in sustainability at Brighthouse Financial. We believe that our focus on sustainability, taking into account the interests of all our stakeholders, will play an important role in creating long-term value, and we look forward to updating you on our progress over time.
Sincerely,
Eric Steigerwalt
