The MarCom Awards is an annual, international competition that honors excellence in marketing and communication. Since its inception in 2004, MarCom has evolved into one of the largest, most-respected creative competitions in the world. Each year, about 6,500 print and digital entries are submitted from dozens of countries. MarCom is administered by the Association of Marketing and Communication Professionals.

“This recognition of our 2020 ESG Report speaks volumes not only about the quality and workmanship that went into the report itself by our Communications, Investor Relations and Marketing teams, but also speaks to our ESG actions, which have become an integral part of who we are as a company,” said Greg D. Carmichael, chairman and CEO of Fifth Third Bank. “Collectively, all of us at Fifth Third are focused on doing well by doing good and delivering long-term sustainable value to all of our stakeholders.”

Since the publication of the 2020 report, Greg Carmichael has been named Responsible CEO of the Year for Community Impact by 3BL Media.
