Diversity & Inclusion: Marketplace

To be the bank of choice, we need to understand each community's diverse needs. In 2018, several initiatives helped us do just that.

Regional Diversity & Inclusion Councils

Our 34 Regional D&I Councils identify and act on business opportunities that result from changing community demographics. These councils work closely with employees, customers, community members and suppliers to ensure that we are best serving our increasingly diverse neighborhoods.

• The Greater Maryland D&I Council, in partnership with PNC's Supplier Diversity Program, helps attract diverse suppliers to PNC's supplier diversity portal. Since establishing this partnership, PNC has added 65 new businesses to the portal, gained more than 40 new banking relationships with diverse suppliers, and engaged more than 600 small businesses.
  
• The Philadelphia and Southern New Jersey Regional D&I Council launched numerous initiatives in its inaugural year, including PNC Financial Wellness Day. On October 24, the council coordinated workshops in branches and other locations throughout the community to conduct more than 200 financial wellness appointments.
  
• In Ohio, we joined Ohio Business Competes, a nonpartisan coalition of businesses committed to achieving LGBTQ-inclusive non-discrimination policies at the state level. This coalition is focused on attracting the best talent, increasing business-to-business and business-to-consumer relationships, and growing Ohio’s economy.
  
• In Florida, we sponsored the Southern Comfort Transgender Conference and the South Florida Transgender Medical Conference, in coordination with PNC Healthcare Banking and the market's Regional D&I Council.
