Richard Bynum
Chief Corporate Responsibility Officer
We are working to enhance the framework for PNC’s community support to include a greater emphasis on the importance of the educational continuum, economic empowerment, entrepreneurship and social justice issues. While we may be approaching our work with a more deliberate focus on the Black community, diversity, equity and inclusion is not new to PNC. It has long been at the heart of how we run our business and has guided our efforts around economic empowerment.
Gina Coleman
Chief Diversity Officer
Diversity & Inclusion are core values at PNC. They shape our workplace and serve as a business imperative. We are committed to a culture where all employees and customers feel welcomed, valued and respected. We believe that what makes us different makes us stronger. We are committed to providing equitable opportunities to drive innovation and high-performing teams, and increased transparency on our continued path. We owe it to our stakeholders to reach our fullest potential as a company, employer, neighbor and investment.

for Minority Business
Through PNC’s Minority Business Group, we’re actively working to solve known disparities among minority-owned firms. We know that there are divides that Black entrepreneurs face in the basic trade-offs of operating a small business and we have to be intentional about providing the tools necessary to help these businesses thrive.
Community Development Banking Spotlight
PNC’s Community Development Banking group works to boost the quality of life in low- and moderate-income communities across PNC’s footprint through financial education, consumer programs, and community development lending and investing. The team works with consumer groups, Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFIs), neighborhood developers and local community development corporations to serve as the entry point to the rest of PNC.
Community Development Banking distinguishes PNC from other banks because its objective is to meet the needs of our low- and moderate-income communities through a blend of products, services and philanthropy. PNC Bank’s significant accomplishments in this space have earned the company an “Outstanding” rating under the Community Reinvestment Act since those examinations began more than 40 years ago, reflecting the PNC’s commitment to communities and responsible banking.
