Abstract

This study aims to provide a conceptual or empirical summary of the scientific literature conducted on sustainable banking. The study has attempted to determine the trends in the emerging literature on sustainable banking and endorsed the sustainability initiatives of the banking industry. R-studio and Biblioshiny are employed to conduct bibliometric analysis on sustainable banking on a sample of 740 documents from 2008 to 2022 using the Scopus and Web of Science database. Additionally, the VOSviewer program was utilised to perform a co-word and co-authorship analysis. Research findings indicated that the number of publications published on sustainable banking has progressed significantly since 2019. The study identified Sustainability (Switzerland) as the top journal while banking, sustainability, sustainable development, and financial institutions have emerged as the most frequently searched keywords in the extensive literature. The study has provided valuable input to policymakers and regulators regarding sustainability practices adoption in the banking sector.
