CSR Wire, September 23, 2021, From the Fifth Third Bancorp 2020 ESG Report: Communities
Fifth Third closed out 2020 by celebrating the successful conclusion of our five-year, $32 billion Community Commitment. The Community Commitment was announced in 2016 as a $27.5 billion plan over five years. Later that year, that amount was increased to $30 billion upon consultation with hundreds of community groups and the National Community Reinvestment Coalition.
“The community benefits agreement we established with Fifth Third Bank in 2016 was one of our first and largest,” said Jesse Van Tol, CEO of the National Community Reinvestment Coalition. “We are happy to see the agreement come to fruition over the past five years. We also look forward to continuing our work with Fifth Third to ensure low- and moderate-income communities and communities of color have access to the banking services they need to build wealth.”
