Key’s annual Environmental, Social, and Governance Report

2022 Environmental, Social, and Governance Report Key’s annual Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) Report includes measurements associated with the sustainability and societal impact of our investments. Our ESG Report is a companion piece to our annual report to shareholders—it provides our stakeholders with an update on the company’s priorities and progress as both a responsible bank and citizen.

We're proud of our nearly 200-year legacy of service to every stakeholder we serve and have a strong, positive outlook for our collective future.

The data reported in the 2022 ESG Report covers the period between January 1 and December 31, 2022. In instances where programs or initiatives were enhanced or introduced in the first quarter of 2023, the narrative description reflects those changes. In this document, Key reports on the ESG and corporate responsibility (CR) progress of KeyCorp, including KeyCorp’s subsidiary bank, KeyBank National Association.
