Green Banking Practices and Environmental Performance
Description
This dataset comprises responses from 279 employees of commercial banks in Kathmandu Valley, Nepal, collected as part of a study examining the impact of green banking practices on banks’ environmental performance. The data were gathered using a structured questionnaire, employing a five-point Likert scale to measure perceptions across three main constructs: Green Banking Practices (GBP), Green Finance (GF), and Banks’ Environmental Performance (BEP). GBP was assessed with 10 items, GF with 6 items, and BEP with 6 items, all adapted from established literature. The sample includes employees from the top ten profitable commercial banks, selected through judgmental and quota sampling methods. The dataset supports quantitative analysis exploring the direct and mediating effects of green finance in the relationship between green banking practices and environmental performance.
