摘要：Into the broad context of the ethical behavior topic in economy, outlined mainly during the last two
decades, the appearance of ethical banking was an event with a particular social, economic and
competitive incidence. Banking ethics had become an imperative and a reference point in the context of
sustainable development, revaluating the report between economic and social return. Our study aims to
examine the specific characteristics of ethical banks, compared with those of traditional ones, and provides
a picture of the extent of this phenomenon in the European area. In addition, we analyze the extent to
which the current international context, characterized by uncertainty and turbulence on financial markets,
emphasizes the discrepancies existing between the two categories of credit institutions.
