“…Compared to other forms of socially responsible investment (SRI), relatively few social and environmental projects have been financed through customer deposits to date, and such deposits have been primarily facilitated by a few specialised banks (Heinemann et al., 2018), which are called social, ethical, green, sustainable, or alternative banks (Chew et al., 2016; Cornée et al., 2016; Goyal & Joshi, 2011). This might explain why the scientific literature on SRI has predominantly focused on institutional investors in capital markets (e.g., Benson et al., 2006; Humphrey et al., 2016; Von Wallis & Klein, 2015, for a literature review) or private (retail) investors of SRI funds (e.g., Gutsche & Zwergel, 2020; Sandberg & Nilsson, 2015; Wins & Zwergel, 2015, 2016). Few research attempts have considered SRI in credit markets, such as social banking and social depositors.…”
