Proud to invest
We're investing $40 billion to help our communities thrive.
Through lending, investing, grants, and volunteerism, we participate in the growth, revitalization, and sustainability of the communities we proudly serve.
Delivering more than $18 billion in lending and investments, Key exceeded our $16.5 billion, 5-year plan a full year ahead of schedule.
Given that momentum, we have extended and expanded our commitment to more than $40 billion in community investments. We will continue to focus on investments in affordable housing, mortgage and small business lending and renewable energy. We will also continue our tradition of transformative philanthropy by making investments to improve access to education and workforce development as well as safe and vital neighborhoods.
With 11 consecutive “Outstanding” ratings for exceeding the requirements of the federal Community Reinvestment Act, KeyBank has a long-standing commitment to responsible banking, responsible operations and responsible citizenship. Our community benefits represent the many ways that we live those values.
We will continue our commitment to creating long-term, measurable change in areas of community development, affordable housing, home and small business lending, and transformative philanthropy throughout the markets where we do business.
Since 2010, KeyBank has made more than $15 billion in renewable energy investments and was a top provider of renewable energy financing in North America in 2019 and 2020. Our updated commitment will include this long-standing focus to increase KeyBank’s renewable energy financing, as well as accelerating Key’s efforts to reduce our environmental footprint.
Corporate citizenship matters; it matters for our communities, for our clients, and for our colleagues. Delivering on the commitments of our Community Investment Impact has brought access to capital for neighborhoods and neighbors who have often faced unfair barriers to financial support. Receiving an eleventh consecutive ‘Outstanding’ rating for exceeding the requirements of the Community Reinvestment Act serves as confirmation that KeyBank’s approach is the right one — but we recognize the work isn’t finished.
