Going green, in recent days, has been a buzzword for both global banking and financial sectors and for the general public. Green banking as a part of “going green,” referring to the environmentally friendly practices that reduce the carbon footprint by using online services, is a new way of performing the banking businesses considering the clean environmental issues as well as the corporate social responsibility of banks. In this context, this chapter offers an improved understanding of the importance of adopting green banking in the Nepalese banking industry. This chapter uses a mixed-method of analysis – both primary and secondary data were used. The customers and bankers are found to have less awareness regarding the concept of green banking practices in the Nepalese context. In order to promote green banking practices, the banks and governments are required to be aware of the people with the help of some effective policy interventions.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of corporate social responsibility on financial performance to understand whether and how CSR policies impact the overall financial performance of listed banks in Ghana. Secondary data have been collected, content analysis was used to measure corporate social responsibility and financial performance, and a multiple panel regression approach using eight listed banks was used. Results indicate that corporate social responsibility is found to be positively and statistically significantly related to financial performance. Nevertheless, the effect of CSR is very weak. A significant relationship between size, inflation, and exchange rate and financial performance is found. For CSR to become development tool in Ghana, it is imperative that coordinated and concerted efforts must be undertaken at both private and public sector levels, in realising equitable, inclusive, and sustainable development.
