An increasing number of banks around the world are going green by providing innovative green products that cover financial services to support the activities that are not hazardous to environment and help conserve environment. A green bank is also called an ethical bank, a socially responsible bank, or a sustainable bank. The exact meaning of all these titles may not be same however they cover a lot of common activities and perceptions. At least, all these banks- in various ways and at different times- have engaged themselves in making a better future (Merzio 2007).

...History of Bank Banking in the modern sense of the word can be traced to medieval and early Renaissance Italy, to the rich cities in the north like Florence, Venice and Sialkot Genoa. The Bardi and Peruzzi families dominated banking in 14th century Florence, establishing branches in many other parts of Europe.[9] One of the most famous Italian banks was the Medici Bank, set up by Giovanni di Bicci de' Medici in 1397.[10] The earliest known state deposit bank, Banco di San Giorgio (Bank of St. George), was founded in 1407 at Genoa, Italy.[11] Origin of the word The word bank was borrowed in Middle English from Middle French banque, from Old Italian banca, from Old High German banc, bank "bench, counter". Benches were used as desks or exchange counters during the Renaissance by Florentine bankers, who used to make their transactions atop desks covered by green tablecloths.[12] Definition of bank A bank is a financial institution and a financial intermediary that accepts deposits and channels those deposits into lending activities, either directly by loaning or indirectly through capital markets. A bank connects customers that have capital deficits to customers with capital surpluses. Listed Bank operates in Bangladesh Central bank • Bangladesh Bank In 1972 the Government of Bangladesh reorganized the Dhaka branch of the State Bank of Pakistan as the central bank of the country, and named it Bangladesh Bank with retrospective effect from 16 December 1971.

...Chapter- One Introduction Report Objective The objective of this report is to identify “Causes of Low Market Demand of Rupali Bank Ltd and Measures to Change the Situation”. This report is done in order to analyze the causes of low market demand which influence customer satisfaction from Rupali Bank Ltd and measures to change the situation. In the current competitive market though different banks are providing different services to grab maximum market share, still customers have their own evaluation or judgment to find the satisfaction level of the service provided by the banks. Market demand depends on customer satisfaction. Analyzing the causes of low market demand is a complex process and sometimes customers even measure their satisfaction based on such factors that they even don’t have clear idea about those issues or factors. The underlying problem in predicting customer choice resides much more in the fact that market demand depends on many different criteria simultaneously, including brand, service and product quality, performance, price, features, and so on. This problem is further confounded in service applications, where customers may consider intangible features and characteristics of the market offerings for e.g., service quality, benefits, safety and trust; interactions between service providers and customers. Thus, incorporating customer preferences and choices into day-to-day managerial decisions is extremely important for today’s highly competitive environment...

...Executive Summary: The aim of this study was to assess the effectiveness of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) practices of some local banks and track the performance of these banks with superior ratings for environmental, social and governance practices in Bangladesh and these banks are: Eastern Bank Limited, One Bank Limited and Mutual Trust Bank Limited. The study specifically focused on the extent to which companies practicing CSR complied with basic legal labor standards involving their employees and my marking 0 and 1 (0 for Null for practicing CSR,1 for CSR Practice). The study involved identification of companies providing CSR, obtaining information about the details of the CSR practices adopted at these companies (though looking at their website and interviews few of employees) and an assessment of how well these companies complied with basic CSR standards. The research found that most CSR practicing companies practiced CSR in their own specific way. It was often unclear how much money companies spend on CSR and it also found that many of these companies, whilst providing CSR, did not comply with the law in providing basic labor standards to their employees. The study also showed the comparison among these three banks with graph where graphical technique is informative in the field of statistics used to visualize quantitative data. Statistics and data analysis procedures generally yield their output in numeric or tabular form; graphical techniques allow such...

...claim to have read the manuscript Of Changes and Transformations: Bangladesh Bank [July 2009-June 2013] highlighting changes the central bank has gone through in the past four years, but certainly had a cursory look at it. The publication of the book is of great significance at a time when the present government has just completed its four years in office. I welcome this initiative by Bangladesh Bank. I would like to thank Governor Dr. Atiur Rahman and others concerned with the project. The effort put in by the editors and their team of script writers to enrich the volume is certainly praiseworthy. I am extremely delighted to have the opportunity to write few words upon the book. Here I would like to touch upon the key aspects of the revolutionary changes that I have witnessed in Bangladesh Bank during the past four years. Firstly, digitization has taken place rapidly in the central bank and the whole banking sector was quick to follow suit. Secondly, mobile banking has been introduced and expanded significantly. This process will come its fruition with the introduction of PayPal payment system. Thirdly, revolutionary changes have taken place in CSR. Fourthly, Bangladesh Bank has achieved commendable success in financial inclusion program. Bangladesh Bank's role in involving the mass people into financial activities is undeniable. Finally, the establishment of Currency Museum is a great initiative of Bangladesh Bank. I would now like to say a few words on the economic condition of...
