Abstract

The notion of sustainable finance, which encompasses environmental, social, and governance (ESG) considerations, has become increasingly prominent in assessing the financial resilience of companies, particularly within the banking industry, in recent times. The primary objective of this research is to examine the influence of ESG practices on the financial stability of commercial banks that are publicly traded on the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX). The study utilizes an extensive dataset of 10 years from 2014 to 2023 that includes significant ESG indicators as well as financial performance metrics, spanning multiple years. The study seeks to analyze the impact of sustainable finance practices on the overall financial stability of the chosen banks using advanced statistical techniques and regression analysis. The results of this study are anticipated to provide insight into the possible advantages and drawbacks of incorporating ESG factors into the operational plans of commercial banks. Moreover, this study will make a valuable contribution to the current body of knowledge on sustainable finance, particularly in the context of emerging economies like Pakistan. In such markets, the importance of ESG factors in shaping financial decision-making is undergoing rapid transformation.
