Abstract

Sustainable banking had unprecedented importance in the modern world, especially after the subprime crisis of 2007 and this research paper presents a systematic review analysis of sustainable banking. In this systematic review, 55 articles in 38 peer-reviewed journals, related to sustainable banking (1999-2019) had been reviewed from the source of Scopus and Web of Science. This review had focused its research on four major themes of determinants of sustainable banking, sustainable lending practices, evaluation of sustainable banking, and reporting of bank sustainability. This research is concluded by identifying themes of determinants of sustainable banking, sustainable lending practices, and evaluation of sustainable banking as the most promising niches for future research in the area of sustainable banking.
