PITTSBURGH, Dec. 16, 2024 ~ Pittsburgh, PA - FNB Financial Center, the new corporate headquarters for F.N.B. Corporation (NYSE: FNB), has recently been awarded LEED Gold certification by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC). This prestigious recognition is a testament to the company's commitment to energy-efficient and sustainable design, construction, and operations.

LEED, which stands for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, is the world's most widely used green building rating system. It provides a framework for projects to achieve certification by following prerequisites and earning credits related to green building practices. The ultimate goal is to protect resources and enhance human health and community quality of life.

The majority of FNB's Pittsburgh-based corporate employees have already moved into the new building in late November. By consolidating several offices, subsidiaries, and support departments under one roof, the company aims to improve efficiency, collaboration, and productivity. The new headquarters also offers amenities such as a fitness center, tenant-only terrace, floor-to-ceiling windows for natural light, an on-site FNB branch, grab-and-go café, and retail space - all designed with employee wellness and convenience in mind.

FNB's move to the new headquarters marks another milestone in its commitment to Pittsburgh's Lower Hill District neighborhood. This area was long underserved but is now home to one of the largest and most socially responsible urban development projects in the country. Working closely with the development team - which includes Buccini Pollin Group and Pittsburgh Penguins - FNB ensured that 30% of businesses involved were minority-owned and 15% were women-owned. Additionally, FNB invested in funds that contribute equity to minority-owned firms and created a loan program to provide resources for local contractors participating in the development.

Vincent J. Delie Jr., Chairman, President, and CEO of F.N.B Corporation and First National Bank expressed his satisfaction with achieving their strategic goal of having a positive impact on employees and the Hill District community while reducing their environmental impact. He credited the expertise of their partners for making this goal a success. "After years of planning, we are thrilled to have our team members filling the building and enjoying a workspace that further enhances our outstanding culture," Delie said.

FNB Financial Center is just one part of FNB's companywide sustainability initiatives. The company has installed efficient HVAC and lighting systems in branches and offices throughout its footprint, and multiple regional headquarters are located in LEED-certified buildings, such as FNB's towers in Charlotte and Raleigh, North Carolina.

The green design effort for FNB Financial Center was led by Advantus Engineering, a women-owned firm based in the Pittsburgh region. The building features environmentally conscious materials, state-of-the-art HVAC and air filtration systems, efficient lighting, easy access to public transportation, and electric charging stations - all contributing to its Gold certification, the second-highest tier in the LEED system.

FNB Financial Center is not only a symbol of FNB's commitment to sustainability but also its dedication to the Pittsburgh community. With its LEED Gold certification and socially responsible development practices, it sets an example for other companies looking to make a positive impact on both their employees and the environment.
