CINCINNATI— Fifth Third (Nasdaq: FITB) has been named to the America’s Most Responsible Companies and America’s Greenest Companies lists by Newsweek. This is the sixth consecutive year Fifth Third has been named one of America’s Most Responsible Companies by Newsweek.
"We are laser focused on keeping our customers at the center of everything we do, and being a responsible corporate citizen is critical to us and the communities we serve," said Jamie Leonard, executive vice president and chief operating officer of Fifth Third.
Fifth Third’s corporate responsibility and sustainability efforts are focused around five key priorities: strengthening our communities, promoting inclusion, delivering on the Bank’s commitment to employees, keeping the customer at the center, and addressing climate change.
"At Fifth Third, we believe that strong banks need strong communities – and strong communities need strong banks," said Kala Gibson, executive vice president and chief corporate responsibility officer. "Our approach to corporate responsibility is rooted in our purpose: to improve the lives of our customers and the well-being of the communities we serve."
Newsweek’s America’s Most Responsible Companies 2025 rankings focus on a holistic view of corporate responsibility, including how well businesses support the communities in which they belong. The list is curated from KPI research of more than 30 performance indicators and a survey of 26,000 US residents. Survey respondents were asked to select companies familiar to them and evaluate the company’s CSR performance in general and in the three subdimensions: social, environmental and governance.
America’s Greenest Companies 2025 recognizes the top 500 companies in the U.S. based on environmental sustainability. The list is derived from research and analysis of public data of public and private organizations in the U.S., that meet the minimum standards set by the European Union. Companies were evaluated and scored on more than 25 parameters based on 4 categories: greenhouse gas emissions, water usage, waste generation and sustainability data disclosure and commitments.
