Abstract

Nowadays, it can be noticed that the environmental issue is present in the preoccupation of all the entrepreneurs of success. And this could not be different for the banks which, in its important mission of funding new environmentally correct ventures, are also seeking profit and the maintenance of the partnership with business success, besides preserving social empathy. Therefore, the environmental variable came to be seen as an item of extreme importance in the assessment of credit risk in financing proposals. It can be seen that the banks do not limit themselves to complying only with the applicable law. They require much more to grant new investments, because they know that the correct environmental suitability of the new ventures represents a decisive factor for the companys success and its permanence in a market which I always increasingly competitive and demanding. Thus, it can be concluded that this timely change of mans behavior towards to the environment, even if it came after the occurrence of several environmental disasters, can still be seen as promising because it is capable of reversing the apocalyptic framework designed in the recent past, and seek a new horizon of hope and peaceful and responsible coexistence of man with nature. To this new and provident conscience of man, is that companies and also the banks are seeking to harmonize their actions, also foreseeing good opportunity for profits in them.
