Managing Third Party Risks

PNC works with third-party providers to comply with our Enterprise Third-Party Management (ETPM) Program. This program helps us effectively identify, assess and manage third-party risks and is designed to ensure we comply with all related regulatory requirements. PNC continuously strives to enhance our ETPM program’s effectiveness for both internal stakeholders and external third-party providers.

 

Supplier Diversity

Our company’s commitment to an inclusive culture is reflected in our supplier relationships.

In alignment with our Community Benefits Plan we set a 2025 target to increase spending with diverse suppliers by a minimum of 20 percent.
