Abstract

Cet article vise à tester empiriquement la proposition selon laquelle les PE constituent un outil pertinent, mais insuffisant pour véritablement implémenter la RSE dans le secteur bancaire. de fait, quelle est la capacité d'un grand groupe bancaire à dépasser effectivement les limites des PE et s'imposer, non plus simplement comme « offensif », mais véritablement comme une banque « durable » ? C'est à cette question que nous tentons de répondre dans la présente recherche, à travers le cas du Groupe HSBC. Le résultat de notre étude montre que les PE constituent un outil intéressant pour accompagner une banque « classique » vers un comportement plus responsable en termes de financement de projet. Leur application effective permet de devenir « offensif » sur ce volet. Mais leurs limites sont trop importantes pour permettre à une grande banque classique de franchir la marche qui lui permettrait d'être considérée comme une « banque durable ».
