Abstract

This article focuses on ways business schools and management development institutions can through responsible management education drive learning for sustainable banking as a channel to address the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The article discusses the role of business schools and management development institutions in advancing progress to attain the SDGs in Nigeria, a developing nation in sub-Saharan Africa. This is examined within the context of a globalized banking and financial sector which is yet to fully maximize opportunities to drive sustainable development due to, among other factors, the lack of clear understanding of how to integrate sustainability into the banking system. Ongoing systemic efforts to drive sustainable banking through responsible management education are discussed and ways to further integrate sustainable banking to accelerate the attainment of SDGs are presented.
