ESG Integration in the Banking Sector

In recent years, macroeconomic dynamics, social transformations, technological innovations, and regulatory developments have caused significant changes in the banking industry, but most especially the need to integrate ESG factors into corporate strategies. Exploring the commitment towards sustainable business as not only a regulatory compliance obligation but as a value creation opportunity, this book explores ESG factors and sustainability issues in the banking sector and proposes a holistic approach to ESG risks. It presents useful suggestions and guidance for the promotion of further development and practical initiatives on ESG in banks, and will be of interest to researchers, government regulators, supervisor authorities, and policymakers in banking and financial services.
