Abstract

This study, it was aimed to evaluate the sustainability performances of banks. In the first step of the study, a total of 14 criteria from the categories of economic, social, and environmental were defined in order to evaluate the sustainability performances of banks. After that, the weights of each criteria were obtained by analysing the data associated with these 14 criteria through the CRITIC method. The ranking associated with the sustainability performances of banks was created by analyzing the data with MOORA Importance Coefficient Approach based on these weight values. According to the analysis results of the CRITIC method, it was understood that the most important criterion in the evaluation of sustainability performances of banks was returned on equity. In addition to this result, the results of the MOORA Importance Coefficient Approach also indicated that five of the banks included in the study comply with the sustainability criteria defined for the banking sector.
