Bank-Based Microfinance: From Peripheral to Integrated Responsibility Toward Sustainability

摘要

Sustainable banking activities may play a role in macrofinance within different types of financial institutions. Thanks to the involvement of their stakeholders, banks can be dedicated exclusively to sustainability that is deeply integrated in their vision, values, mission, strategies, and operations. In banks moving toward sustainability, sustainable banking activities are limited and not integrated in the core business as they evolve progressively from philanthropy to the development of products/services in microfinance.
