In the wake of the financial crisis, banks have been under fire from all
fronts. While the industry continues to struggle economically, society’s
growing suspicion of banks’ intentions is resulting in tighter and more
complex regulation. Meanwhile, competition is coming from unexpected places
and clients are increasingly demanding financial products and services that
deliver more than just financial returns. Faced with this confluence of
factors, banks have responded with CSR and sustainability initiatives—but
they haven’t been enough.

According to the new FSG report, "Banking on Shared Value
<http://sharedvalue.org/resources/banking-shared-value>," banks are leaving
value on the table. The potential to create shared value through retail,
commercial and investment banking is enormous. And the banks that realize
this potential will recast their role in society through a lens of mutual
opportunity: an opportunity for banks to increase long-term profitability,
and an opportunity for society to leverage the unique financial
capabilities of banks to drive progress. This new approach will enable
banks to capitalize on new opportunities and leverage their biggest
asset—their core business—to address some of the world’s toughest
challenges.
