Abstract Text | The growing presence of sustainable banking and its steady trend of popularity is a good indicator of it possibly becoming a huge factor of success in the financial sector. Previous research has focused on the correlation of sustainability and performance in the banking sector, but as of today they haven’t reached a consensus on this matter. So far, little research has been conducted on the relationship between sustainable banking and a banks efficiency. This thesis will analyse the sustainability level of banks and its correlation with an efficiency ratio (ER). The results show a weakly negative correlation between the sustainability scores, calculated using a updated version of the framework by Avrampou et al. (2019), and the efficiency ratio. This is a point that speaks for the implementation and expansion of sustainability practices in Banks. It should be noted that this study did run into some problems with the significance due to the small sample size and that the results need to be interpreted accordingly. |
