Abstract
In 21 century the climate change has become an
important issues for businesses as well as
stockholders. Consequently, to reduce carbon
emission financial institutions offer green
financing to businesses to mitigate this issue.
However, the availability of green loan remains
the important case. Therefore this research aims
to know how this financing gap can be
minimized. A panel design dataset was collected
which consists of green financing data for the
period 2009 to 2015 from 24 banks operating in
Pakistan. We applied Two-stage Least Square
Regression Analysis for data analysis. The
results revealed that green loans are a less risky
investments. Further, the findings also provides
useful information to managers who look for
grow their business loan and minimize default
risk. This study contributes to the existing
literature in green financing by filling the gap,
particularly for developing countries through
empirical evidence. The finding suggests that
banks must invest more in green projects.
Keywords: green practices, sustainability, green
banking, green environment, default risk.
