Today, completely profit-focused banks are gradually incorporating sustainability into their basic functions. This is consistent with global initiatives, namely the Paris Agreement, besides the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. This reflects a deeper understanding that financial activity must be environmentally friendly and socially responsible. With that, banks can now appraise if the banks investment is profitable, good, and sustainable. Reserve Bank of India, being the regulatory authority in India, with the help of the Securities and Exchange Board of India, has also been supportive by laying certain rules that enforce transparency of ESG practice, encouraging green bond issues. Thus, regulations are seen as bringing Indian banks close to world standards and promoting this sustainability culture. The paper also draws upon the importance of integrating ESG factors into risk management systems to mitigate any financial risks that could stem from environmental and social concerns. It further argues that although ESG practices will be beneficial in improving financial performance, their impact does differ by component and should, therefore, be adopted while working in emerging economies such as India. 2026 by Nova Science Publishers, Inc.
