Unveiling efficient organizational models for ESG and sustainability in financial institutions

In the dynamic landscape of modern business, ESG and sustainability have emerged as pivotal elements reflecting an organization’s commitment to ethical and responsible practices.

This commitment extends beyond mere profitability, encompassing the broader impact of an organization’s operations on society, the environment, and its stakeholders. Financial institutions, as key players in the global economic ecosystem, navigate a complex web of considerations in shaping their ESG and sustainability strategies and tailor their organizational models to meet the specific priorities and stakeholder expectations.

This research project examines the organizational models that leading financial institutions adopt for ESG and sustainability, recognizing the need for flexibility in response to dynamic contexts. Leadership commitment, dedicated resources, stakeholder engagement, ESG risk management, and transparent reporting are pivotal for successful ESG implementation.

We tried to distil best practices from financial institutions’ ESG models, emphasizing alignment with organizational vision, values, and long-term sustainability goals. By providing insights into diverse approaches, this paper aims to guide financial institutions in navigating the evolving landscape of CSR and sustainability, offering a roadmap for successful implementation.
