ESG in Banking & Finance: What do you need to know?


The banking industry is at a crossroads. With banks facing increased competition, banks are refocusing their priorities on delivering a seamless digital experience.
For today, banks are valued not only for innovations but also for how equipped are they in ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) implementation.
So what is ESG in banking? How can banks meet the requirements that can make or break their institution? Let’s look at it
ESG has emerged as a critical factor for banks, shaping their operations and influencing investor decisions. Here are the reasons:
1. Investors prioritize banks that align with ESG criteria
2. Integration of ESG principles showcases a bank’s commitment to responsible practices to report their sustainability performance
3. ESG can refine the banking operations
4. It encourages ethical conduct across the business lines and brings out transparent reporting
5. When banks embed ESG controls across multiple functions, they can deliver a modern, frictionless customer experience
6. ESG-compliant banks are proven to be less vulnerable and more stable
7. ESG helps banks to use sensitive customer data discreetly and use technology to ensure privacy and security
8. ESG in banking can map critical business services to climate adaptation and resilience
The commitment to reduce the footprint of banking operations can help banks tackle urgent societal challenges that deliver new solutions.
