Abstract: It is an undeniable truth that Socially Responsible Investments (SRI) are boosting in the current marketplace. Many companies, institutions and governments from all over the globe are starting to introduce Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) principles into their investment decisions.
This study analyzes five European banking institutions that aim to become a benchmark in terms of responsible and sustainable management. Thus, the aim of this investigation is to show the state of the art of the SRI product offering and to understand their influence on sustainability progress.
With this purpose, an overview of five European banks is exhibited under homogenized frameworks, principles and areas, in order to avoid any confusion and unbiased comparison. Additionally, the corporations examined were scored regarding their ESG criteria approach in a self-developed matrix, with the goal of comparing under the same procedures the leadership of these companies.
The findings of this research show significant disparities when targeting these new market requirements, although there exists a converging trend towards a more sustainable financial model. In fact, at a European level, common standards and regulations are incentivizing the sustainability-linked products’ demand, and countless possibilities are yet to be taken.
