Banking industries are blamed to be among the major factors that affect global climate change both directly and indirectly. The green banking concept has emerged in the last decade to trigger the adverse impact the banks put on a healthy environment. However, research regarding the adoption of green banking practices in developing economies, especially in Pakistan, is scarce. While environment friendly businesses are promoted by the government including in the banking industry. Green banking practices not only adopted by the business operations but also to practice it at policy-making level. It also encourages green project financing to ascertain environmental efficiency. Based on SRI theory, this study investigates the relationship between green banking practices and their direct and indirect impact on environmental performance. Structural equation modelling approach has been adopted to test the relationships of variables of the study. The impact of the green practices has been recognized much greater and influential in promoting green environment regarding policy-making and investments in green projects. Results reveal that there is a significant influence of policy, daily operations, and investments on the adoption of green banking practices. Interested parties can adopt the study proposed framework to access and identify the factors which can promote justified level of green banking practices in the country. Moreover, this study may help in providing rich updated literature in green banking to speed up future research in the same area.

巴基斯坦采用绿色银行实践和环境绩效:结构方程模型的示范

银行业被认为是直接和间接影响全球气候变化的主要因素之一。绿色银行概念在过去十年出现,引发了银行对健康环境的不利影响。然而,关于在发展中经济体(尤其是巴基斯坦)采用绿色银行实践的研究很少。而环境友好型企业则由政府推动,包括银行业。绿色银行实践不仅被业务运营所采用,而且在政策制定层面也得到了实践。它还鼓励绿色项目融资,以确定环境效率。本研究基于 SRI 理论,研究了绿色银行实践与其对环境绩效的直接和间接影响之间的关系。采用结构方程建模方法来检验研究变量之间的关系。绿色实践在促进绿色环境的政策制定和绿色项目投资方面的影响力已被广泛认可。结果表明,政策、日常运营和投资对绿色银行实践的采用有显着影响。感兴趣的各方可以采用研究建议的框架来获取和确定可以促进该国绿色银行实践合理水平的因素。此外,这项研究可能有助于提供丰富的绿色银行业最新文献,以加快同一领域的未来研究。绿色实践在促进绿色环境的政策制定和绿色项目投资方面的影响已被广泛认可。结果表明,政策、日常运营和投资对绿色银行实践的采用有显着影响。感兴趣的各方可以采用研究建议的框架来获取和确定可以促进该国绿色银行实践合理水平的因素。此外,这项研究可能有助于提供丰富的绿色银行业最新文献,以加快同一领域的未来研究。绿色实践在促进绿色环境的政策制定和绿色项目投资方面的影响力已被广泛认可。结果表明,政策、日常运营和投资对绿色银行实践的采用有显着影响。感兴趣的各方可以采用研究建议的框架来获取和确定可以促进该国绿色银行实践合理水平的因素。此外,这项研究可能有助于提供丰富的绿色银行业最新文献,以加快同一领域的未来研究。以及对采用绿色银行实践的投资。感兴趣的各方可以采用研究建议的框架来获取和确定可以促进该国绿色银行实践合理水平的因素。此外,这项研究可能有助于提供丰富的绿色银行业最新文献,以加快同一领域的未来研究。以及对采用绿色银行实践的投资。感兴趣的各方可以采用研究建议的框架来获取和确定可以促进该国绿色银行实践合理水平的因素。此外,这项研究可能有助于提供丰富的绿色银行业最新文献,以加快同一领域的未来研究。
