“In any story you read about what PNC is doing, ESG — environmental, social and governance – might not be front and center, but it's an inseparable part of it," said Lora Phillips, director of ESG for PNC’s Corporate Responsibility Group.
“It's how we build a talent-focused culture full of opportunities for our employees, how we strengthen our communities, how we deliver exceptional customer experiences, and how we strive to put doing what's right ahead of anything else. That's how we earn our stakeholders' trust, and how we differentiate ourselves in the marketplace."
