Green Financing Corporate Governance And Financial Performance Of Commercial Banks In Kenya
Download
Abstract: This literature review evaluates the intersection of green financing practices and financial performance among Kenyan commercial banks, with corporate governance as a moderating factor. Drawing from reports, budget data and financial theories, the study connects carbon-linked assets and sustainability credit products to improved ROI and brand positioning. It identifies governance as an accelerator or barrier depending on board transparency, ESG integration and lending standards. While ROA and ROE show mixed trends, stakeholder engagement and environmental disclosure strongly influence performance. Policy inconsistencies and lack of ESG uniformity are key challenges. The review recommends harmonized reporting, fiscal incentives, and institutional commitment to mainstream green finance in Kenya?s banking sector.
