PNC is Green Branch
PNC is the first U.S. bank to design and build environmentally friendly Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED)-certified bank branches in the United States. It is the only bank permitted to use the unique term Green Branch, based on the registered trademark granted by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office. The trademark is affirmation of PNC’s leadership and commitment to green business practices since 1998. To date, PNC has more newly constructed LEED-certified green buildings – 66 - than any company in the world.
More than 50 percent of materials used in PNC’s Green Branch locations are locally manufactured or made from recycled or green materials. Energy usage is reduced 35 percent or more compared to a traditional branch, and water usage is reduced by nearly 4,000 gallons a year. Window walls are three times more efficient than code and provide an open, airy space for employees and customers.
