Commitment to Communities: Enduring efforts from PNB MetLife 

PNB MetLife believes in a good corporate citizenship approach and we are committed to the communities in which we operate. The CSR strategy for PNB MetLife has a dual approach:

• Promotion of financial inclusion in India through MetLife Foundation
• Launch of social initiatives with our partners around education and development of underprivileged children, promotion of national sports like badminton, consumer awareness programmes around insurance among others
  

The CSR program has been built around the strategy of leveraging on MetLife Foundation’s expertise, research and evaluation around the key issues facing the community and PNB MetLife’s geographical strengths to facilitate project management and volunteering. In line with this strategy, programs around education and development of underprivileged children in Karnataka and J&K have been launched with CRY and Prajna Counselling Centres. These are supported by our bank partners – Jammu & Kashmir Bank (JKB) and Karnataka Bank Limited (KBL) too.

Key focus areas of PNB MetLife’s CSR Programme:

• Financial Inclusion: Provide low-income families and individuals with the financial tools to improve their lives in identified segments
• Health Initiatives: Undertake initiatives on preventive healthcare, raising awareness and working with relevant partners for the same
• Education and Vocational Training: Provide opportunity for children in identified locations to get access and help in getting education in schools, helping  school drop-outs with skill training
• Disaster Relief and Rehabilitation activities: Including medical aids, food supply, supply of clean water, rebuilding of houses or any other activity that can be aligned to the relief and rehabilitation efforts.
