“…Many green marketing issues, such as green product development (GPD) and green processing that previous research has already addressed (see, Scholtens, 2009 ;Evangelinos et al , 2009 ) were confi rmed by the practitioners, as dimensions of green marketing. Moreover, the results of the qualitative study highlighted the role of GCSR as a key success factor of green bank marketing, thus supporting previous studies of K ä rn ä et al (2003) and Grove et al (1996) .…”

“…Evangelinos et al (2009) attempt to capture the dimensions of green bank marketing, but their study focuses primarily on the development of green services. Green bank marketing should refer not only to the services offered, but also to the methods and practices that are followed ( K ä rn ä et al , 2003 ) .…”

“…Consequently, future corporate managers are expected to focus particularly on environmental factors when making decisions ( Portney, 2008 ). In support of this notion, several banks already implement environmental strategies and green banking, investing heavily in their environmental image in order to deal with contemporary challenges ( Evangelinos et al , 2009 ).…”

The importance of sustainability reporting has grown steadily over time and banks, as intermediaries in the capital allocation, are significantly involved in the issue. By analyzing the development of studies on banks' sustainability reporting over the past 30 years, this contribution aims to set up a conceptual framework for guiding historical research and glimpsing future directions. Most of the literature on sustainability reporting is organized by specific topics and rarely by periods, while research in this area suffers from the lack of historical analysis models. The study addresses these two research gaps by applying the historical approach both to a structured literature review and to the interpretation of the results. The theoretical utility of the study consists in the development of a conceptual framework for historical research, while its practical relevance lies in indicating to banks and lawmakers the critical issues and opportunities of the ongoing regulatory changes.

The sustainable development goals (SDGs) reflect grand challenges that the global community needs to address in order to ensure economic welfare, environmental quality, social cohesion and prosperity for future generations. In this respect, the role of the banking sector, among other critical business entities and key stakeholders, is vital. The purpose of our paper is to examine how comprehensively the reported performance of banks aligns with the endorsement of SDGs. We employ the well‐established framework of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) performance indicators for a comparative assessment of the nonfinancial performance disclosed in the annual sustainability reports. Focusing on a small sample of leading European banks, we find an overall low contribution to SDGs. Furthermore, each bank's contribution remains particularly heterogeneous towards most individual SDG goals. Likewise, bank‐specific strategies drive the most extensively addressed SDGs, overlooking any critical importance of certain GRI indicators with multifaceted impact across several SDGs. The study sets forth managerial implications for improving effective reporting of SDG performance. It concludes with emerging opportunities for enhancing disclosure of SDGs contribution and highlights future research perspectives towards industry‐wide shared‐value appraisal under the scope of these pressing grand challenges.
