The recognition reflects Fifth Third’s commitment to creating opportunities for employees to grow their careers, contribute their talents, and reach their full potential.
“Creating an environment where all employees feel supported, valued and empowered to succeed helps us better serve our customers and communities. We are honored to be recognized by Disability:IN for the progress we continue to make,” said Nancy Pinckney, chief human resources officer for Fifth Third.
An initiative of Disability:IN, The Disability Index is the world’s leading third-party benchmarking tool for evaluating corporate disability inclusion and is used by hundreds of leading companies across the globe. It provides data-driven insights to assess performance, identify opportunities and drive continuous improvement over time.
This recognition builds on Fifth Third’s broader commitment to responsible business practices. Earlier this year, Ethisphere named Fifth Third one of the World’s Most Ethical Companies® for the seventh time.
“Inclusion is about ensuring every individual has the opportunity to participate, contribute and thrive,” said Nate Bennett, chief inclusion officer for Fifth Third. “Whether through our people, our products or our community partnerships, we are committed to expanding access and creating opportunities for individuals with disabilities.”
Fifth Third’s commitment to disability inclusion extends across its workforce, community partnerships, suppliers and customer offerings. By advancing accessibility and inclusion, Fifth Third is helping ensure employees, customers, suppliers and communities have greater opportunities to achieve their goals and financial well-being.
Fifth Third is a leading partner of Project SEARCH, a one-year program that helps high school students with disabilities transition into the workforce. Since the program’s inception in 2005, Fifth Third has trained more than 425 individuals, including 29 current employees, helping expand access to meaningful employment opportunities for people with disabilities.
Fifth Third’s commitment to inclusion is reflected in its network of 11 Business Resource Groups, which help foster belonging, strengthen community connections and drive business innovation. Open to all employees, these groups create opportunities to share perspectives and experiences while contributing to a workplace where employees can thrive.
