Global Procurement

Sourcing. Securing. Saving.

Global Procurement’s fundamental goal is to secure the best value and manage the risk associated with our multitude of suppliers for the company. We do this by helping our stakeholders secure products and services across all the countries that MetLife does business.

Our Procurement Partners team includes Business and Corporate Services, Global Labor and Consulting, and IT Goods and Services. Procurement Systems oversees our global procurement platform including our integrated solution of the full procure-to-pay process. The greater team also includes Accounts Payable, Data Analytics, and our Supplier Inclusion and Sustainability program.

The organization also aligns with our Third-Party Risk Management team which supports our risk partners and Enterprise Procurement Contracts group which provides legal counsel and contract negotiation support.
