We came together at Queens Night Market in NYC on June 1 to celebrate love, inclusion and the vibrant spirit of community during Pride Month. See how we shared our culture of pride with attendees!

Memorial Day is a day to pause and honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our Nation's freedom. This year, as you observe and reflect, we encourage you to remember the strength, courage and bravery of our fallen military personnel. Citizens has a long-standing history of supporting and honoring colleagues and family members who are veterans or in the Reserves. Learn more about the various initiatives, benefits and partnerships we make to go the extra mile for those who serve our country.

In recognition of National Mental Health Awareness Month, we've launched our annual Move for Mental Health step challenge. This walking challenge gives our colleagues time to focus on their wellbeing, while also supporting the wellbeing of others through our new corporate partner, Mental Health America. If 2,500 colleagues participate in the challenge, Citizens will donate $30,000 to the nation's leading national nonprofit dedicated to the promotion of mental health, wellbeing and illness prevention. Operating nationally and in communities across the country, Mental Health America advocates for closing the mental health equity gap while increasing nationwide awareness and understanding through public education, direct services, tools, and research. We’re proud to be honored by Mental Health America with a gold level certification for their Bell Seal for Workplace Mental Health. With an overall score was 84% (compared to the average employer score of 36%), we’re committed to providing ongoing conversations and resources so our colleagues can bring their whole selves to work. Learn about our mental health benefits below.
Citizens is proud to recognize and celebrate Asian American and Pacific Islander visionaries, who drive influences for our collective future through innovation. Kirthika Parmeswaran is paving a path of accessibility for mothers experiencing postpartum depression. With her initiative, Vital Start Health, she’s trailblazing work in a critical discipline and, best of all, sharing her best practices and key insights to empower other innovators for success.
As we reflect on inclusion and innovation this Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, we understand the two are intrinsically linked. They are powerful drivers in our communities. We are proud to share our colleagues' perspectives on how inclusion and innovation go hand in hand, especially when it comes to building the workforce of the future.
Citizens is committed to building a more sustainable future. We're taking action to offset our power consumption with clean energy, support our clients and customers and their transition to a lower-carbon future and partnering with local nonprofits dedicated to promoting energy efficiency and renewable energy in our communities.

In honor of National Volunteer Month, we're flipping the spotlight on our colleague volunteers. What makes Citizens stand out are our passionate colleagues who genuinely care about helping our customers and communities thrive. This is shown in how we show up to give back to the neighborhoods where we live and work. In 2023, nearly 9,000 colleagues donated more than 232,000 service hours to support 3,200 nonprofits. Amongst the super-regional banks, our civic engagement totals are above and beyond our peers and are a true differentiator that sets apart our culture and the impact we have on our communities. Plus, every colleague receives 4 hours of additional PTO annually for volunteer-related activities and Citizens matches colleague donations (up to $1,000 annually) to eligible 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations. Together, we are Made Ready to Make a Difference!
Today we announced Q1 2024 earnings and key results, demonstrating our continuing ability to successfully navigate a dynamic environment. “We are executing well on our key strategic initiatives, including the Private Bank, NYC Metro, TOP 9 and servicing Private Capital. We remain comfortable with our full year guidance and are excited by our medium-term prospects,” said Chairman and CEO Bruce Van Saun. Read the full report at the link below.
