The Bharatiya banking industry has adopted green accounting techniques, which entail incorporating environmental factors into the processes of financial reporting and decision-making. The objective of these practices is to evaluate and take into consideration the effect that banking activities, such as choices about lending and investments, as well as internal operations, have on the wider environment. Banks in Bharatiya use green accounting practices in order to assess, monitor, and report their environmental performance. These practices include their emissions of greenhouse gases, their consumption of energy and water, their waste creation, and their consumption of water. The implementation of sustainability reporting frameworks, such as the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) and the Principles for Responsible Banking (PRB), which provide criteria for the disclosure of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) information, is required to accomplish this. Additionally, in order to identify and manage any possible environmental hazards that may be linked with their operations and investments, financial institutions may participate in environmental risk assessment and mitigation measures. Accounting techniques that are environmentally friendly allow Bharatiya banks to contribute to the achievement of sustainable development objectives while also improving the level of openness and accountability in their business operations.
