Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) & Sustainable Finance by Prof. Saumitra Sarkar presents an in-depth exploration of how modern economic activities intersect with social accountability and environmental consciousness. Centered around a case study of Bankura Town Co-operative Bank Ltd. (BTCB), the book highlights the relevance of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) factors in shaping responsible financial systems and corporate practices. This scholarly work delves into the origins and principles of cooperation, the evolution of cooperative banking in India, and the importance of sustainable finance in today’s socio-economic landscape. With a special focus on grassroots banking operations, the study offers valuable insights into organizational structure, financial analysis, and CSR implementation at the local level. Ideal for students, educators, researchers, and professionals in commerce, banking, management, and social development, this book bridges academic theory with practical implications in the context of cooperative institutions and sustainable development.
