Pittsburgh (PRWEB) May 31, 2007 -- The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. (NYSE: PNC) announced today that it has been named one of the World's Most Ethical Companies by Ethisphere Magazine, a national publication dedicated to illuminating the correlation between ethics and profit.

"This was a rigorous process that identified a select group of companies that were unequaled in their industries for their commitment to ethical leadership and corporate social responsibility. These organizations go beyond making statements about doing business ethically; they translate those words into action," said Alex Brigham, executive editor of Ethisphere Magazine.
