Il connubio tra business bancario e finanza sostenibile rappresenta, per le banche, una sfida multipla, che intercetta le dimensioni strategica, gestionale e operativa. L’urgenza di valorizzare la finanza sostenibile come leva di creazione di valore, piuttosto che come ulteriore elemento di adempimento normativo, impone di ripensare l’approccio alla sostenibilità ambientale e sociale delle banche partendo dalla business idea. In tale prospettiva, l’articolo propone un prototipo di business model orientato alla sosteni- bilità utile agli intermediari bancari per disegnare una propria e distintiva strategia di sostenibilità; il modello è basato su un framework di variabili distintive di una banca sostenibile in purezza, che invita a un approccio olistico alla sostenibilità.

Abstract
The combination of banking business and sustainable finance represents, for banks, a multiple challenge, which intercepts the strategic, managerial and operational dimensions.The urgent need to enhance sustainable finance as a leverage for value creation, rather than as an additional element of regulatory compliance, requires rethinking the approach to environmental and social sustainability of banks starting from the business idea. In this perspective, this article proposes a prototype Esg-oriented business model useful for banking intermediaries to design their own and distinctive sustainability strategy; the model is based on a framework of distinctive variables of a pure sustainable bank, which calls for a holistic approach to sustainability.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
