DESCRIPTION:

PNC’s 2020 Corporate Responsibility (CR) Report, What Makes Us Different Makes Us Stronger, is now available on pnc.com/csr, as is the company’s inaugural Taskforce for Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) Report. The CR Report highlights how PNC has delivered on its strong values and supported the needs of key stakeholders during a pandemic, economic crisis and widespread social unrest.

“As we continue to manage through the impacts of 2020 … I am grateful for and inspired by how much we have accomplished as a company. While PNC has always looked out for the best interests of our stakeholders, we stepped up to last year's crises in new and impactful ways," CEO Bill Demchak said.

As a Main Street bank, PNC recognizes that its success is directly proportional to the success of those the bank serves.
