Sustainable Banking—Scale Development and Validation

Sustainable banking is a relatively new term which is concerned with the various measures adopted by the banking sector towards meaningful contribution to the triple bottom line (people, planet and profit). This study is aimed at developing a framework for sustainable banking. Towards achieving this objective, a comprehensive review of literature has been conducted to identify the variables of sustainable banking. These variables are then structured in the form of a questionnaire. Data is collected from banking professionals through survey method. The process thus entails the formation and empirical validation of a scale for sustainable banking. Since such a comprehensive framework is not known to exist, this study is unique and presents value to both researchers and banking industry professionals.
