CINCINNATI, December 18, 2023 /3BL/ – Fifth Third Bank recently collected 9,720 pounds of electronic waste materials at two employee-focused e-waste collection events. Designed to help employees responsibly dispose of and recycle products, the Bank hosted events at its Fifth Third Corporate Service Center in Grand Rapids, Michigan, and the Fifth Third Madisonville Operations Center in Cincinnati, Ohio in October.

Jeremy Faust, Fifth Third’s director of environmental sustainability, said, “We host these e-waste recycling events every year to give our employees an opportunity to keep unwanted items out of landfills and/or put them back to good use. It’s just one way that we exercise our commitment to waste reduction and environmental sustainability.”

At both events, Fifth Third collected cell phones, computers and televisions. It also collected batteries and unused paint, the latter of which is collected by Matthew 25 Ministries and remixed for communities for a building preservation tool.

Fifth Third has six operational sustainability goals to be achieved through 2030. More about those goals can be found in Bank’s 2022 Sustainability Report and the Task Force on Climate Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) Progress Report.
