Environmental, Social, and Governance

Huntington emerged from 2023 in a position of strength, despite a challenging operating environment within the industry.

Huntington remained consistent – a hallmark of our strategy – focusing on creating more inclusive and economically vibrant communities, becoming the best place our colleagues will ever work, and capitalizing on opportunities to operate more sustainably.

Customers and communities remain at the center of our sustainable efforts. We have made significant progress in serving these stakeholders, including making $27.3 billion in loans and investments through the first 31 months of our five-year, $40 billion community plan and exceeding our $100 million financing goal to historically underserved business owners two years ahead of schedule.

Our efforts share an important foundation – our colleagues’ commitment. Whether it’s loan officers and underwriters working to help borrowers, facilities managers installing energy efficiency updates at branches, or lawyers helping navigate new regulatory requirements, colleagues drive all facets of Huntington’s sustainability strategy.

Our ESG Strategy

At Huntington, we focus on the ESG issues important to our business and our stakeholders, using ESG as a strategic driver for sustainable growth.

We address ESG with a Purpose-focused strategy that leverages our economic impact. This begins with our commitment to delivering sustainable, long-term shareholder value through top-tier performance, while maintaining an aggregate moderate-to-low, through-the-cycle risk appetite and well-capitalized position. As a regional bank, our economic impact includes helping individuals and families reach their goals of financial stability and homeownership; providing businesses, especially small and mid-sized businesses, with the resources to grow; serving and uplifting unbanked and underbanked individuals; and working in partnership to create prosperous and resilient communities for all.

Economic

Huntington strives to support our communities in a responsible, inclusive manner, contributing to an environment of economic stability and sustainable growth. This comes from being grounded in sound and fair banking principles that support businesses, address community needs, help with housing options, and support philanthropic investment opportunities.
