U.S.BANCORP 2015 ANNUAL REPORT
— 4 —
We make possible happen for our
shareholders by delivering consistent,
predictable, repeatable, industry-leading
nancial results year after year after year. And, by returning capital and
running a trustworthy and reputable banking business, our shareholders
know that we will do it well and we will do it right.
That’s why we were named one of the World’s Most Ethical Companies™
in 2015 by the Ethisphere Institute — the largest U.S.-based bank ever to
make the list. And, we proudly returned to Ethisphere’s list in 2016.
We make possible happen for our customers by helping them
navigate deeply personal nancial milestones — from rst paycheck
to rst day of retirement; by helping small businesses convert back-
of-the-envelope drawings into hung shingles and open doors; by
helping merchants direct commerce efciently, effectively, conveniently
and securely; by being there for families when they walk into their
neighborhood branch or connect with us through their mobile devices;
and by helping large commercial enterprises manage their daily activities
and expand when new opportunities present themselves.
That’s why, in 2016, we were named the “most admired superregional
bank” in the country by Fortune magazine for the sixth year in a row.
We make possible happen for our communities by investing our time,
resources and passion to build and support vibrant communities. Our new
corporate responsibility framework is called Community Possible, and it
focuses our community investments in Work, Home and Play. The building
blocks that made our country great — a stable job, a home to call your own
Fellow Shareholders:
U.S. Bancorp is in the business of “making
possible happen.”
Every single day. 67,000 committed bankers.
We make possible happen for our shareholders,
our customers, our communities and each
other. It is what our brilliant red shield
represents: the Power of Possible.
