The major hypothesis of this work assumes that banks adopting sustainable development goals get high financial performance.

Regression analysis and GMM technique have been used to analyze the impact of the ESE index on the profitability of banks. A separate analysis of economic, social, and environmental indicators has also been done. The findings show that the adoption of SDGs has a positive and significant impact on the financial performance of the banks. This analysis has the following important contributions. First, it gives an insight into the banking sector that the adoption of SDGs is important for increasing profits in the long run.
