Through the issuance of green bonds, social bonds and/or sustainability bonds by Fifth Third (collectively “sustainable bonds”), we aim to finance green and social projects that align with our sustainability priorities. Sustainability bonds will include a combination of green and social projects. We expect that this method of funding will allow us to tailor our financing with our investment and lending priorities. Additionally, by offering sustainable bonds, we hope to make additional investment opportunities available to our investors that meet their investment objectives.
