Currently, businesses are very vulnerable and exposed to the uncertainty that may cause damage to the company. With the ongoing pandemic issue, companies are more concerned about their performance and survival. Companies like banks play a crucial role in the economy since its growth depends on its financial sector's stability regardless of the country. Thus, companies have many approaches and strategies to maintain their business and stay relevant in the corporate world; hence, ESG disclosure comes in handy. According to the Bursa Malaysia Sustainability Reporting Guide (2018), ESG which stands for "Environmental, Social, and Governance" is a term used extensively, specifically by the investment community, portraying the environmental, social, and governance matters considered by investors in the corporate behaviour context. Experts have actively discussed ESG disclosure to address such reporting to enhance the company's performance portfolio. Furthermore, the ESG factor becomes one of the primary considerations for the investors' decision. ESG factor influences and strengthens the investors' confidence towards the company's performance. Bukhari, Hashim and Amran (2020) suggested that companies providing ESG disclosure show improvement in their financial performance. Experts found a significant impact of sustainability practices on the Islamic banks' financial performance (Jan, Marimuthu & Isa, 2019). Companies' ESG disclosure performance has established a reputation for playing a significant role in financial transparency and how it varies by economic and stakeholder's perspective (Oncioiu, Popescu, Aviana, Serban, Rotaru, Petrescu & Pantelescu, 2020). Jan et al. (2019) found that there is still a low adoption level of sustainability practices and reporting in the Islamic banking industry. An empirical study conducted by Nobanee and Ellili (2016) also stated that sustainability disclosure has an insignificant effect on Islamic banks than the high degree of such disclosure on conventional banks. Moreover, from a study conducted in seven Muslim countries, the sustainability practices and reporting were not of serious concern to those countries' Islamic banks (Hassan and Syafri Harahap, 2010). Keywords: Environment, Social, Governance (ESG) Disclosure, Islamic Banks, and Financial Performance.

This article aims to provide an overview of the development of research on the measurement of Islamic banking performance over the past 20 years from 89 selected papers with Scopus-indexed journals ranked Q4 to Q1 or accredited with Sinta 2 to Sinta 1. This study used a qual-quantitative meta-analysis approach using the Mendeley citation application. The distribution of the topic and the depth of research in paper samples based on keywords in publications were analyzed using the VOSviewer application. The results of the analysis showed that the research trend of Islamic banking performance in reputable journals is increasing in recent years. Most of the studies performed in the last two decades have focused on the practice and corporate governance of Islamic banks and comparisons between Islamic and conventional banks based on financial performance ratios and aspect of maqasid al-Shariah; Only a few studies that discuss efficiency, social performance on Islamic banks, regulation, intellectual capital and stability of the financial performance of Islamic banks were found. The further discussion is an empirical exposure without theoretical exploration or analysis which is supposed to become the direction of banking research in the future.  JEL Classification Codes: G21, L25, P17, P47.

Sharia compliance is the adherence of Islamic banks to Islamic rules or laws in muamalah and is one of the factors that differentiate it from conventional banks. Therefore sharia compliance is a fundamental principle in Islamic banking practices. Muamalah law, especially the economy, has a high degree of difference, so the sharia compliance standards in Indonesia refer to the Fatwa of the National Sharia Council-Indonesian Ulama Council (DSN-MUI). This study aims to analyze the practice of sharia compliance in Islamic Rural Banks (BPRS) in Indonesia. The data analyzed is the assessment of the Sharia Supervisory Board (DPS) on the practice of BPRS for five years. The sample distribution covers all regions of Indonesia with 24 units of analysi with 46 respondenss. The data analysis used quantitative descriptive analysis and compared it with the DSN-MUI fatwa. This study's results indicate that the level of compliance with Islamic rural banks in Indonesia is, on average, excellent. Other findings show that, when viewed from the contract's practice, financing with a musyarakah contract has the highest level of sharia compliance compared to separate agreements. Meanwhile, the lowest sharia compliance is in the murabahah contract. This condition is influenced because Islamic banks often use the murabahah bil wakalah contract. The weakness of this contract lies in the procurement of goods by customers, often not accompanied by proof of purchase.

Purpose Intellectual capital (IC) is considered as a lifeblood of the high-tech and knowledge-based sectors. Therefore, there is a great need to highlight the importance of IC in the banking sector. Since the banking sector in the gulf countries is mainly based on Islamic and conventional banking, the purpose of this paper is to provide a comparative empirical analysis between IC efficiency in Islamic and conventional banks, and its impacts on a bank’s operational, financial and market performance. Design/methodology/approach This study examined 59 banks for five years to end up with 295 observations. The independent variable is the modified value added IC components; the dependent variables are performance indicators (return on assets, return on equity and Tobin’s Q). Two control variables are utilized in this study: bank-specific and macroeconomic. Findings The findings deduced from the empirical results demonstrate that there is a positive relationship between IC efficiency and financial performance (ROE) and market performance (TQ) in Islamic banks. However, in conventional banks, there is a positive relationship between IC and operational performance (ROE) and financial performance (ROE). Originality/value The results of this study can be used to present a successful model for the Islamic and conventional banks to concentrate more on the role of IC in enhancing the bank’s performance. In addition, the results of this study may provide a wake-up call for Islamic banks to examine the reasons for the imperfect relationship between the IC and asset efficiency (ROA), as well as for conventional banks to examine the reasons for an imperfect relationship between the IC and market value (TQ).

To show the role, then show the performance. Maybe, the term is right for the bank. The existence of banks influences economic stability, therefore financial performance must be good. There is no choice but to increase the entire financial ratio. Interest in reviewing the financial ratios of banks, especially Islamic banks, is the goal to be achieved in this study. Use financial statements as data, and analyze the extent of their performance and influence. For this reason, a quantitative approach and regression analysis are needed. So that research results can be explained properly. The findings in this study suggest that the performance of Islamic banks is relative. Its role is not yet at a significant stage for the economy, and it is still far from conventional banks

Purpose The purpose of this study is to compare the impact of religion on the financial performance of conventional and Islamic banks in the framework of stakeholders’ theory. Design/methodology/approach Few studies have focused on studying the impact of religion on banking performance. Although religion represents an external governance mechanism for financial institutions, by using the generalized method of moments (GMM), this topic constitutes a research opportunity. The already modeled variables are collected from 76 countries located on 5 continents. The data were collected from DATASTREAM, banks’ annual reports, WIKIPEDIA and World Bank. It concerns 210 banks of each type during the period (2010–2020). Findings The author retained that religion negatively affects the financial performance of both conventional and Islamic banks. More specifically, results showed that religion affected the liquidity and solvency of two bank types. It also affected conventional banks’ profitability and efficiency of conventional banks. Research limitations/implications I summarized the theoretical contribution in the integration of a new original governance category to enhance its presence with impacts directly affecting the banks’ financial performance. Empirically, the study can be seen as a compass for all stakeholders to consider environmental, behavioral and doctrinal factors in studying the financial performance evolution and to become more competitive in the banking market. Originality/value Although conventional banks located in developed countries are different from those existing in emerging countries and Islamic banks located in developed countries are different from those existing in emerging countries, I carried out a diversified study in the global context. Referring to the comparative literature review between conventional and Islamic banks, the study was the first conditional research that compared the impacts of religion on the financial performance of conventional and Islamic banks.

This study aims to compare the financial performance between Islamic and conventional banks listed at Kuwait stock exchange over the period 2011-2018 using the modified DuPont model of financial analysis which is based on the analysis of return on equity (ROE). Unlike previous studies where researchers compared the performance on a bank-to-bank basis, this study examines the aggregate ratios of Islamic banks and compare it to aggregate ratios of conventional banks. The study also adds volatility into the model since consistency in returns indicated a more stable sector.  Results obtained from this study showed that conventional banks in Kuwait had a better mean performance during the study period in terms of both return on assets (ROA) and return in equity (ROE), Islamic banks also showed a higher deviation in these two ratios resulting in a lower Sharpe ratio. While the results showed no statistically significant mean difference between Islamic and conventional banks in terms of return on assets (ROA), the results also showed a statistically significant difference in mean return on equity (ROE) between the two sub-sectors.  On the other hand, Islamic banks showed an impressive improvement in their ratios during the last three years of the study period which impose a real threat to conventional banks in the future.
