Abstract
To achieve the sustainable development Goals laid out by the United Nations, a funding gap of $ 2.5-3 trillion per year in required funding must be covered. Therefore, financial institutions such as commercial banks have a greater obligation to help bridge the funding gap. There also exists an increasing trend in the preference to invest in sustainability among millennial customers. However, there is a significant gap between the preference to the actual investments made, due to a perception of trade-off between the sustainable outcomes versus the financial outcomes. Therefore, in this regard a comparative case study investigates the strategies adopted by two Dutch commercial banks in translating sustainable investing into the financial industry. The study combines the theory of translation within the actor-network theory and theory on organisational logics. Results around the activities of translation have been contrasted and presented. The findings around the trade-off remains unclear.
