Abstract

This paper examines the impact of ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) factors on the stability of banks across different continents, focusing on both conventional and Islamic banking institutions. The empirical analysis indicates a positive influence of ESG activities on the stability of these financial institutions. Notably, the study finds that ESG scores significantly enhance the stability of both conventional and Islamic banks. The environmental pillar score, especially within the conventional banking sector, shows highly positive and statistically significant results, highlighting the benefits of environmentally responsible practices. In contrast, the social pillar is positively correlated with stability in the Islamic banking sector, suggesting that active involvement in community service and social responsibility initiatives leads to improved stability. Overall, the study emphasizes the transformative potential of ESG activities in enhancing the stability and valuation of banks by positively influencing both their external perception and internal operations.

177. An empirical investigation of banks’ sustainability performance under economic policy uncertainty

Abstract

This paper empirically explores the effect of policy-related economic uncertainty on banks’ sustainability performance, measured by bank-level environmental, social, and governance (ESG) ratings. Based on a sample of U.S. banks, the results indicate that high economic policy uncertainty (EPU) increases banks’ overall ESG scores, supporting the stakeholder perspective of corporate philanthropic engagement. This positive effect seems regardless of bank size and remains valid across the environmental and social dimensions of ESG. The results survive a battery of robustness tests using alternative measures of EPU and ESG, introducing additional control variables, and using sub-samples based on the adoption of a major climate policy agreement. Documenting fresh evidence on the ESG-EPU relationship for U.S. banks at the national level, our paper provides strong incentives for future research on sustainable banking practices under economic policy risk in regional and global settings.
