“…Amongst these studies are the inclusion of environmental considerations in lending decisions (Thompson, 1998), bank image (Lymperopoulos et al., 2012), adoption level of green banking tools (Kumar & Prakash, 2019), and IGB (Bryson et al., 2016). However, recent reviews of past literature on green banking over a 24 year period (1995 to March 2019) indicate that banking has not been properly explored (only 178 articles), and theoretical studies are more popular than empirical ones (Sarma & Roy, 2020). As awareness by banking customers concerning environmental issues continues to increase, an examination of green banking is necessary (Bryson et al., 2016; Lymperopoulos et al., 2012).…”

Banks offer loans to support many projects; however, some of these projects may not give adequate consideration to the environment. Little is known regarding the extent to which banking customers experience guilt when discovering that their bank supports projects that disregard the environment. An experiment with 313 participants was conducted, and the results showed that customers do experience guilt when discovering that their bank supports projects that do not give adequate consideration to the environment. This study found that guilt drives perceived consumer effectiveness and negative word‐of‐mouth regarding banking projects that neglect environmental considerations but not attitudes towards green banking. Negative word of mouth, but not the attitude towards green banking, mediates the effect of perceived consumer effectiveness on the intention to use green banking services. Negative word‐of‐mouth, rather than attitudes towards green banking and its perceived consumer effectiveness, drives the intention to use green banking services. These findings imply that banks need to encourage their customers to perceive that they are eco‐friendly to avoid a significant loss of customers.

“…Six databases were used [66][67][68][69][70][71]. These databases were used because of the multidisciplinary nature of the topic; they contain a wide coverage of publications in diverse fields including accounting, management and social sciences [44,72] mostly used for contemporary reviews [27]. Articles from the databases, and more specific search of some journals were of high impact factor and cut across over 20 different fields [72].…”

“…For instance, environmental regulation arose from the need to protect human beings and public health from the dangers posed by the environment and to protect the environment from human impact [34]. As such, the reviewed articles reported issues on, material use, energy consumption, water use, biodiversity, effluent and waste, environmental compliance and grievance mechanism, transportation [42,44,92].…”

“…Our review confirms this observation. Most literature on sustainability has focused on the determinants of SR, while other studies focused on the quality of SR [15,44,103] which is key in assessing the true and fair view of NGOs' performance on sustainability. However, little or no attention is paid to whether the report is biased towards those who prepared the report or the donors.…”

NGOs are expected by their social mission not only to assess but to report on sustainability issues in response to the growing public awareness of the sustainability agendas. Since NGOs are globally renowned as watchdogs for advancing socio-economic development and sustainable societies, research on their efforts in this regard will help develop recommendations on how they can be better positioned as the watchdog. The purpose of this article is to review and assess the understanding of sustainability (reporting) in NGO literature as well as the barriers and drivers. The study investigates various practices of sustainability and identifies the drivers and barriers in sustainability reporting (SR). The authors reviewed 61 articles published between 2010 and 2020 on sustainability and assessed the strengths and weaknesses in the understanding of sustainability in literature as well as the reporting phenomenon in NGOs. The misconceptions in the definition of SR tend to weaken its relevance and applicability, and the reporting process is often focused on demonstrating the legitimacy of NGOs rather than improving their performance. As such, it provides more evidence in support of the need for a more holistic and all-inclusive definition that will aid regulation and enforcement. We also found that, although it is often assumed all NGOs share similar objectives, it is not always the case as there are as diverse objectives as there are numbers of NGOs and their reporting pattern varies in accordance with this diversity. The review makes a case for a more comprehensive definition of SR suitable for NGOs using four elements as well as providing suggestions for where research in this area might focus to enhance the overall body of knowledge. The study contributes to theory and practice by introducing new elements guiding the definition of SR in NGOs which supports accountability and proper functioning of a circular economy and promotes sustainable development.

“…It is receiving increased attention from the banking industry and financial regulators all around the world. A gap has been identified regarding the absence of research that can serve as Green Banking adoption roadmap or benchmark by different stakeholders (Sarma and Roy, 2020). Given the increasing importance and realization of the role of the banking sector in a country’s environmental well-being, a limited number of research studies exist in the area of Green Banking currently (Ahmad et al , 2013; Ahuja, 2015; Bose et al , 2017; Bukhari et al , 2019; Chew et al , 2016).…”

Purpose The purpose of this study is to propose Green Banking best practices for the adoption of this business construct based on the dimensions of environment, social and governance (ESG). This paper proposes a number of green practices under the ESG dimensions that can be adopted by individual banks at any stage of Green Banking adoption. It provides tactics for implementing this business construct that can serve as a tool for regulatory authorities forming Green Banking guidelines or policies for adoption. Such research has not been undertaken up until now. Design/methodology/approach The Green Banking adoption model is based on the concept of human ecology in which the inter-dependency and inter-connectivity of the variables impacting the phenomenon of environmental sustainability. These influencing variables are, in turn, connected with the natural environment. In the proposed model, the variables of ESG are inter-connected and impacting the natural environment as well. The proposed best practices have been derived from the Green Banking practices of the global industry leaders and Green Banking regulations of developed and developing countries. It can be beneficial to the stakeholders, as it proposes a step-by-step guide to Green Banking adoption that can be followed either sequentially or in parallel by the banks. Findings Green Banking adoption can be achieved by banks through implementing certain practices in either sequential or parallel manner. The adoption process depends on the various external and internal environmental dependencies. The Green Banking adoption practices can be broken down in three areas, i.e. ESG, allowing the construct optimal depth of coverage and complexity. Originality/value The literature on Green Banking is steadily increasing but a lack of research exists in the area of Green Banking adoption. Currently, limited literature exists that can provide the banking industry or the regulatory authorities with a framework or guideline to adopt Green Banking.
