“…Issues and problems of implementing the basic rules to the impact investing in environmental projects on the financial market are studied by L. Dziawgo and E. Dziawgo (2016) on the example of Poland, and by Steiauf and Schäfer (2014) on the example of Germany. At the same time, the potential of investments in environmental protection projects, particularly in relation to renewable energy, was empirically confirmed by Čeryová et al (2020).…”

The purpose of this article is to identify environmental protection projects for priority impact investing on the example of the future post-war reconstruction of Ukraine. To evaluate priorities, it is proposed to use the results of a survey of ten independent experts in the field of environmental projects and ecology, belonging to the public, private and non-profit sectors of Ukraine. The survey includes an assessment of environmental protection projects based on the importance and effectiveness of their impact, the characteristics of stakeholders, the duration and risks of the projects, their contribution to the environment and sustainable development. The obtained scores are ranked based on the criteria of Laplace, Wald, Hurwitz, Savage, and Bord and Condorcet rules. In accordance with this, the most priority projects for impact investing are environmental protection projects aimed at land reclamation, conservation and protection, forest restoration, implementation of the national system of trading quotas for greenhouse gas emissions, and eco-modernization of industrial and infrastructural enterprises. This indicates the need for a comprehensive multi-vector approach to the selection of priority areas for impact investing. The lessons learned will be useful for the effective direction or selection of investment projects, their forecasting and analysis.

“…Actions within the scope of voluntary sponsoring initiatives in the aid of the protection of the environment, as well as actions taken within the scope of marketing or public relations, may be regarded as the first, which means the lowest, level of the activity of a credit institution within the scope of the protection of the natural resources of environment. Actions conducted at this level require the smallest involvement for the part of a bank (Dziawgo & Dziawgo, 2016).…”

Sustainability transition is changing the role and function of banks, specially their products and services also in relation to stakeholders. Banks are one of the main actors supporting the transition to sustainable economy. The purpose of this study is to emphasise the role of world’s largest banks in that process. Banks are slowly responding to the new demand of sustainability and responsibility, and they try to align with it. The paper is based on an overview of the world’s five largest banks that employ corporate social responsibility (CSR) reporting standards, together with detailed enumeration of pro-environmental activities included in the reports. The first section of this paper presents the most popular approaches to the problem at hand, as reported in professional literature. Section two presents the characteristics of the CSR actions in banks. The third section discusses the environmental actions of the biggest banks in Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) reporting the most popular standard for reporting non-financial information. And the last part of the paper presents the conclusions resulting from the article. The research was conducted using a variety of sources, such as scientific articles, statistical data, CSR reports of the world’s largest banks, as well reporting principles and standard disclosures. The basic method used in the process of writing was a critical analysis of literature and reports concerning the CSR reporting standards, environmental responsibilities of different kinds of entities, as well as own observations based on special reports of banks. In the article, also the analysis of financial market data, induction method and comparison method have been used. The main conclusions of the analysis of the CSR reports disclosed by the world’s largest banks confirm all three of the theses presented in the article. The findings suggest that the banks under study can be regarded as environmentally responsible entities. Their reports and disclosures are produced according to the internationally recognized standards. There are also critical opinions about the standards for reporting environmental information, but the weaknesses of reporting these aspects do not undermine the benefits of using the GRI guidelines.
