Abstract: The article examines the evolution of corporate governance in the banking sector within the context of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) principles. Global trends indicate that banks have become key actors in sustainable finance, actively engaging in the issuance of green bonds, adopting ESG strategies, and applying new risk assessment frameworks. Special attention is given to the influence of international regulatory bodies on banking policies. The research demonstrates that the integration of ESG principles is reshaping governance structures in banks, redefining models of oversight and accountability toward a stakeholderoriented system focused on long-term value creation. The study concludes that ESG criteria have become an integral part of modern corporate governance, promoting both financial stability and social responsibility within the banking sector.
