Abstract

When financial organizations realize how important sustainable financing is, they progressively include Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) factors in their asset quality assessments. The methods, impacts, and outcomes of including ESG considerations in evaluating bank assets are examined in this paper. The paper highlights the significance of using ESG variables to enhance risk mitigation, promote ethical investment practices, and adhere to regulatory and social obligations. The article does highlight several shortcomings, though, such as the lack of standard ESG metrics, the potential for greenwashing, and challenges in quantifying social and governance issues. Despite these challenges, the growing emphasis on ESG concerns signals a paradigm shift towards more robust and sustainable banking systems.
