The “Go Green” concept has become significant in every facet of business in today’s environmentally conscious culture. With all company activities, there is a need to focus on people and the environment rather than just on profits as businesses can no longer operate only for profits. The concern towards environment results a shift toward green economy, and businesses must be environmentally conscious in all aspects of their operations. Green banking is one of the initiatives in this direction.

The paper reviews the green banking practices among select banks in India & to identify the challenges associated with implementing this eco friendly phenomenon.
