Corporate Citizenship

At Fifth Third, we believe that strong banks need strong communities, and strong communities need strong banks—a responsibility we take seriously. Our Corporate Citizenship work is guided by our ambition to be the One Bank people most value and trust.

We are proud to have been named one of the World’s Most Ethical Companies^® six years in a row by Ethisphere, a global leader in setting the bar for ethical business. This recognition isn’t just a badge: it’s proof that we’re serious about doing the right thing for our customers, our communities, and each other, every single day.

National Community Advisory Forum

Fifth Third is guided by our National Community Advisory Forum (CAF), a distinguished group of the nation’s foremost community leaders whose organizations are addressing some of today’s most challenging issues. We established our first CAF in 1992 and in recent years, we've elevated its strategic advisory role to help shape our decisions, operations and programs.

Representative organizations serving on the CAF include the National Community Reinvestment Coalition, Local Initiatives Support Corporation, NeighborWorks, Operation Hope, Purpose-Built Communities, National Urban League and Enterprise Community Partners.

Innovation and Impact

Innovation and impact are central to Fifth Third’s commitment to the unique needs of our communities. We have a history of making significant commitments, fulfilling them, and clearly communicating the stakes and the outcomes of the programs. Fifth Third’s Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) rating is "Outstanding."
