MetLife Australia has become a principal partner of the Royal Botanic Gardens and Domain Trust.

The new three-year corporate partnership encompasses the Royal Botanic Garden Sydney, the Australian Botanic Garden Mount Annan, the Blue Mountains Botanic Garden Mount Tomah, the Domain and the Australian Institute of Botanical Science.

It will also focus on Aboriginal cultural training for MetLife staff, to be provided by First Nations staff.

“This partnership will be key to helping us reach our sustainability and environmental goals as well as provide our people with ways to contribute back to the community,” CEO Richard Nunn said.

Employees can volunteer to plant trees at Mount Annan and other activities which contribute to global 2030 Environmental Goals and the Reflect Reconciliation Action Plan.

Royal Botanic Gardens and Domain Trust CEO Denise Ora said she looked forward to a fruitful partnership with the MetLife team.

“From digitising our extensive specimen collection to contributing to the re-greening of our local environment, many hands make light work,” Ms Ora said.
