SUNTRUST BANKS, INC. 2012 ANNUAL REPORT
Additionally, SunTrust teammates continued
to demonstrate their commitment to their
communities, providing more than 220,000 hours
of volunteer service last year. I thank all of the
SunTrust teammates for their contribution and
am proud of their dedication to our institution,
our clients, and the communities we serve.
I’d also like to express my gratitude to our
Directors for their insight and support, and extend
a special word of thanks to Blake P. Garrett and
G. Gilmer Minor who will retire from the board
following the 2012 annual meeting. I appreciate
their commitment to our company and thank
them for their knowledge and counsel.
Lastly, our purpose extends to our shareholders
and their nancial well-being. I am pleased with
the improving performance we demonstrated
in 2012, and I look forward to updating you on
our progress in 2013.
Thank you for your investment and
continued support.
William H. Rogers, Jr.
Chairman and Chief Executive Ofcer
February 27, 2013
The SunTrust Purpose
Our strategic priorities are guided by our
purpose: Lighting the Way to Financial Well-
Being. This is a straight-forward articulation of
the core of what SunTrust does each and every
day. And though we have made signicant
changes across the company in the last year,
our dedication to our purpose is steadfast
and supported by all that we do.
Day in and day out, our purpose guides us in
helping our clients achieve nancial well-being —
including sending their children to college, buying
a home, growing a business, and achieving their
retirement objectives. This is noble work, and
I’m proud of what SunTrust does in this regard
Our purpose also denes our support of the
communities we serve. As part of the balance-
sheet related actions undertaken in the third
quarter, we donated $38 million to The SunTrust
Foundation to enhance our ability to foster
a greater sense of nancial well-being in the
communities we serve for years to come.
