Corporate and Social Responsibility
Meaningful partnerships build stronger communities. We believe that putting the well-being of our neighbors at the forefront of our decision making and investments creates opportunities for all. For 170 years, we’ve been committed to the role we play in enhancing quality of life, supporting economic development, building relationships and connecting our employees, customers and community partners to truly do more together.
To maximize our impact, support is concentrated in the regions we serve — specifically western Pennsylvania, northeast Ohio, the Cumberland Narrows Community in Maryland and the Hampton Roads community in Virginia.
Committed to a culture of giving.
Through the employee benefit of paid volunteer days, we have invested 8,000 volunteer hours in our communities since 2020.
We’ve matched over $1 million of employee donations to eligible non-profits.
Our corporate giving efforts support 300+ non-profit organizations annually.
