“Sustainable development meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own
needs. Climate change poses the most significant challenge to achieve sustainable development. Banks as responsible corporate
citizens should adopt green banking as part of corporate social responsibility (CSR) and sustainable development. Green banking promotes environment-friendly practices and reduces carbon footprint from banking activities. Green banking will blend customers’ financial interests with the interests of the environment. Green banking will also enable environmental sensibility to pay off for clients and for the planet. Green banking is an innovative solution for sustainable development. Green banking considers all the social and environmental factors with an aim to protect the environment and conserve natural resources. It is also called ethical banking or sustainable banking.”
