KeyCorp's Sustainability Initiatives

Responsible banking means conducting the core business of banking with integrity, and it includes our products, services, pricing, and approach to clients. When we build our products with fairness in mind, establish consistent policies, and exhibit transparency, we build trust and confidence with our clients. The result is financial success for them and us. Responsible citizenship goes beyond traditional banking activities. As a responsible citizen, we bring our values to life by fully participating in our local communities and encouraging others to join us. We provide financial education, hold our own vendors to high standards, volunteer thousands of hours, and donate millions of dollars to programs that create change. When our communities thrive, so do we. Responsible operations include the infrastructure, processes, and systems that help us run our business. We deliver stronger value to our shareholders and communities when we reduce our environmental impact and improve our efficiency. Please find information about our sustainability initiatives here.
