Our 2024 Corporate Responsibility Report and 2024 Climate Report will be issued later this year. Stakeholder Prioritization Assessment To help ensure our Corporate Responsibility commitments and initiatives align to our stakeholders’ priorities, Huntington is refreshing its Stakeholder Prioritization Assessment in 2025 and using a third-party consultant.

We are refreshing this Assessment in 2025 to help validate that we continue to be aligned with our key stakeholders. In addition to the periodic stakeholder assessments, another avenue we use to learn about the importance of various Corporate Responsibility topics is through our shareholder outreach that takes place throughout the year. Information about some of this year’s topics discussed during these engagements can be found under the Shareholder Outreach and Engagementsubsection.
