Book Description
Essay aus dem Jahr 2011 im Fachbereich BWL - Bank, Börse, Versicherung, , Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: In the wake of the recent and still ongoing utterly devasting global financial crisis, both reputation and legitimacy of banks are highly under pressure. This situation is best demonstrated by the current protests in New York, generally known under the heading of ‘Occupy Wall Street’ (Krugman, 2011). The fact that the protestors’ claims are even generally acknowledged by leading economists, such as Nobel laureates Stiglitz and Krugman, and to some extent by Obama himself, shows how the financial crisis brought the banking industry and its contested practices dramatically into the public consciousness. It resulted in a massive erosion of trust and reputation in the industry. In terms of social responsibilitiy, this crisis showed that no other sector and profession has a “comparable ability to privatise gains and socialise losses” (Decker & Sale, 2009, p. 136). In order to address the current negative externalities of banks, such as social costs related to government bailouts, and the question of their crucial role in our economy and society, the concept of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) can serve as a helpful framework. Firstly, this essay aims to show the essential role finance, and thereby the banking industry, is playing in our economy. Afterwards, the results will be used in order to assess the potential relationship between finance and a more sustainable economy. The following section will analyse the potentials banks have to create shared value due to the crucial role of trust and reputation.

Book Description
With banking being a relatively clean sector, it has not faced the scrutiny related to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) felt by other industries such as oil & gas, forestry and transportation. Recent high profile corporate scandals and accusations of irresponsible behavior, however, have led to organizational crises and are pressuring the banking industry to modify current practices of for instance lending, advising and investment. U.S. banks were the first designated scapegoats when the financial crisis hit in late 2007. However, it quickly became apparent that the banking sector globally, with few exceptions, had been engaged in risky and unsustainable business. This book has issued how the banking sector use CSR in dealing with organizational crises, and how the concept can be useful in efforts to repair the legitimacy and reputation of banks. Norwegian bank DnB NOR and Danish financial services provider Danske Bank have been applied as case examples.

Book Description
Over the last few years, the bank’s engagement in corporate social responsibility (CSR) has become a relevant and timely topic. Academics and practitioners have been paying growing attention to how banks integrate socially responsible issues in their business models. By its nature, the banking system provides products and services that assume a specific relevance for social and economic development. More than other industries, banks need to build positive relationships with stakeholders in order to effectively carry out their business. This appears even more important in the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis. The latter has challenged the reputation of the banks, questioning the true ethicality of banks’ business choices. Against this backdrop, the engagement in CSR may represent for banks the opportunity to demonstrate that they are operating in line with societal expectations. The current volume intends to extend the knowledge on CSR in the banking industry, providing empirical evidence on determinants and effects of banks’ engagement in socially responsible initiatives. In particular, the volume shows that banks with favorable financial performance tend to be more engaged in CSR. Moreover, the study demonstrates that some board of directors’ characteristics are critical in predicting the bank’s engagement in CSR. The volume also indicates that stakeholders favorably perceive the bank’s undertaking of socially responsible initiatives. Indeed, the analysis shows that customers of large banks appear particularly sensitive to the integration of socially responsible issues in bank’s products.

Though initially thought to be a developed country concept, it already has made its strong presence in the developing countries like Bangladesh. There are tremendous encouragement coming from CSR activities made the scenario vibrant and CSR policy of firms is now a top issue that stakeholders talk about. This study analyzes data from top ten CSR performing banks from the Bangladeshi banking sector and finds that CSR expenditure by banks increases over time and lots of stakeholders benefit from that. The major areas of CSR activities include education, humanitarian and disaster relief, arts and culture, sports, environment, health etc. However, the reporting of CSR expenditure is not yet perfect though the central bank has made it mandatory in 2008. In some cases, banks disclose qualitative information rather than quantitative in case of CSR initiatives.
