The Financial Services Industry

Hans-Jörg Hess

Chapter 8 in The Business of Sustainability, 2004, pp 152-177 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract This chapter aims to shed more light on the business case for sustain-ability (BCS) in the financial services sector. It focuses on the business activities of banks and insurance companies with commercial customers, and the findings are based on interviews and a survey of West European and US banks and insurance companies that operate internationally and have a corporate structure. Some smaller financial companies and two banks with a public mandate (IFC and KfW) were included in the sample because of their specific engagement with the subject of our research.
