Abstract
ABSTRACT This study investigates the influence of Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) bank risk on Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) performance, emphasizing the roles of Fintech and corporate governance. Using a sample of 48 commercial banks, our research reveals a significant negative influence of bank risk on ESG performance, applicable to both conventional and Islamic banks. Mechanism analysis indicates that Fintech development serves as a mediator, while corporate governance acts as a moderator, driving banks to enhance their ESG performance. Notably, the impact of Fintech on promoting corporate ESG performance is more significant in Islamic banks than in conventional counterparts. Additionally, heterogeneity analysis suggests that the effect of Fintech development on ESG performance is more pronounced for large and state-owned banks.
