Abstract
Abstract The concept of green environmental protection and sustainability is deeply rooted in China. Green credit has become an important social issue in recent years. Most Chinese financial institutions are also actively participating and investing in this field, especially banks.

At the same time, econometric modelling is built using the system GMM regression analysis method. This focuses on the impact of commercial banks' green credit business on their profitability. The final research results certify that banks' increasing investment in green credit has a positive impact on promoting profitability, both showed a positive correlation. Therefore, this paper suggests that banks should focus on the development of green credit business, which is beneficial to both the financial performance of banks and the construction of an environmentally sustainable society.
