At PNC, we’ve long recognized
the importance of making a difference
in the communities we serve, and in
the lives of our employees and their
families. The strength of our company is
reflected in the myriad ways this occurs.
BUILDING RELATIONSHIPS To make
contributions to the communities
we serve more meaningful, we use a
combination of funding, expertise
and creative problem solving.
In 2001, the PNC Foundation dis-
tributed more than $11 million to hundreds
of charitable and non-profit organizations
in our six-state region. In addition, PNC
employees found other ways to help many
of these organizations achieve their goals,
with thousands of employees volunteering
time in advisory positions or to support
specific projects.
In fact, our employees are rapidly
approaching their collective goal
of contributing 1million hours of
volunteer service under our Promise to
Neighborhood Children initiative.
PNC also helps many of these
organizations by supporting events that
are rich in tradition and valuable in
purpose. From sponsoring a horticultural
rite of spring with the Philadelphia Flower
Show to celebrating the theater arts with
the PNC Broadway Series in Louisville,
Ky., nearly $9 million in corporate spon-
sorships in 2001 helped to enrich the
communities in which we do business.
Of course, last year also marked
the inaugural season of PNC Park.
Our relationship with the Pittsburgh
Pirates helps to strengthen the core of
our headquarters region and bring
national exposure to our brand.
RESPONDING TO NEED The events of
September 11th brought an unprece-
dented response. PNC teamed with
customer Mine Safety Appliances
Company to rush 5,000 hard hats and
200 respirators to rescue workers at
Ground Zero. Additionally, employee
contributions, matched by the PNC
Foundation and BlackRock, along with a
branch collection effort, totaled approxi-
mately $1.8 million for relief efforts.
POWERED BY PEOPLE Clearly, the
driving force behind our success is our
team of 24,000 employees. They have
nurtured in our company a culture
based on values such as integrity, trust
and customer focus.
Our 2001 Performance Award
winners (named below) demonstrate
a deep commitment to those values
while also achieving exceptional
business results.
In addition to recognizing
their successes, we strive to provide
employees with a work environment
that promotes our shared values and
improves their quality of life. In 2001,
Fortune magazine named PNC one of
its “Most Admired Companies,” and
Working Mother magazine recognized
us as one of the “100 Best Companies
for Working Mothers.”
