Abstract

Environmentalism is a social movement that shows the concerns for environmental conservation and improvement of the state of the environment. This has now become a constant concern in every industry and it is no wonder that the banking industry also caught the ‘green’ fever. To circumvent the global warming trap, the impulse of ‘going green’ is running faster than expected amongst all the big giant industries, from Mutual Funds to Banks; every industry is moving fanatically ahead with its own green initiatives.

 

Key words: Environmentalism, industries, green banking, banking sector, environmental friendly.
