This is a dataset that measures how much European banks talk about environmental, social and governance (ESG) topics in their own published reports (annual reports, sustainability reports, non-financial disclosures, etc.). Instead of relying on a commercial ESG rating agency, the research team read these reports using text-mining methods: they searched for a fixed list of ESG-related words and phrases, and measured how often those words appear and how closely they are linked to words describing concrete bank actions (strategy, risk management, targets, lending, and similar). Dataset is composed of two files: (1) linki_raporty_banki.csv and (2) text_mining_banki.csv
Full methodological details, validation checks and the underlying research questions are described in the accompanying journal article (forthcoming): M. Iwanicz-Drozdowska, Ł. Kurowski, P. Smaga, B. Witkowski: "Interplay of banks’ ESG disclosure and financial performance in Europe". This dataset is intended to be used together with that article.
