摘要：

We investigate the dynamics of ESG performance and explore the potential driving force, including the role of herd behavior among banks. Utilizing Phillips and Sul (2007)'s panel data convergence model and data from the EURO STOXX Banks index, we identify a significant divergence in ESG performance followed by convergence towards separate clusters or clubs after 2018. Notably, banks with lower Return on Equity (ROE) and leverage demonstrate herding tendencies towards improved ESG performance, emphasizing sustainability objectives and community ties. The study contributes to understanding the potential driving forces behind ESG convergence among EU banks.
