In addition, ProVida has implemented operational frameworks to process new social security components such as the Cotización con Rentabilidad Protegida (CRP) and has deepened the integration of environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) standards across its domestic and international investment strategies under MetLife's global sustainable investing policies.
