Abstract

The paper presents the results of a study of the relationship between the ESG indicator and selected indicators of financial stability of banks. The empirical analysis was carried out using the system estimator of the generalized method of moments (system GMM, SGMM). The panel study uses data for 64 banks from 20 European countries for the years 2010-2021, including 9 dependent variables and 18 independent variables. The results show the existence of a non-linear relationship between the ESG indicator and the examined variables, robust for all performed analyzes. The results are important from the regulatory point of view, as they identify the impact of the transition towards ESG on the stability of the surveyed banks, and thus on the stability of the banking sector throughout Europe, with particular emphasis on the CEE region, for which such studies have not been published so far.
