The integration of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) into corporate strategy has emerged as a global imperative, particularly for financial institutions that play a pivotal role in shaping inclusive and sustainable economies. This study explores how Indian banks align their Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) practices with the SDGs, offering qualitative insights drawn from CSR disclosures, sustainability reports, and policy documents of leading public and private sector banks. Through thematic analysis, the paper uncovers patterns of strategic alignment, identifies key focus areas such as financial inclusion, education, and environmental stewardship, and highlights innovative CSR interventions that reflect a growing consciousness toward sustainable development. The findings reveal that while several banks demonstrate proactive engagement with SDG-linked CSR initiatives, challenges persist in terms of impact measurement, consistency in reporting, and strategic coherence. The study contributes to the discourse on responsible banking by mapping CSR activities to specific SDGs and proposing a conceptual framework for enhancing SDG-CSR integration. It also offers policy-level recommendations to strengthen regulatory guidance and incentivize sustainable banking practices in India.
