[1] The basic theoretical issues about green banking, the measurement of green banking development and the determinants on the level development of green banks are systematized. A bank is considered as a green bank when it has built a sustainable business strategy, reflected in the provision of banking services satisfying the criteria of ensuring environmental and social responsibility. The dissertation has built a theoretical framework that identifies six groups of factors affecting green banking development, including: (i) State support policies on development of green banks; (ii) Macro factors; (iii) Green investment demand; (iv) Financial capacity of the bank; (v) Bank leaders' awareness of green banking; (vi) Staff capacity.

[2] On the basis of considering the practical experience of green banking adoption in developed and developing countries around the world, the thesis has drawn a number of lessons to successfully develop green banking, including: It is necessary to have the intervention and support of the government agencies to encourage green credit and green loans; It is necessary to complete the legal and regulations on the process and mechanism of providing green financial services; Green banking adoption requires the joint efforts of every organizations and businesses in the economy in general and financial institutions in particular.

[3] The empirical research results show that the level of development of green banks in Vietnam is at level 3 - Systematic business operations, in which, most of the bank's processes and products are in compliance with the “green” principles, the bank's organizational structure is designed to support a “green” impact on four levels: people, process, principles and purpose. Currently, there is no bank in Vietnam that is truly considered a Green Bank. Almost Vietnam’s banks are providing green banking services or lending activities linked to environmental commitments. The green bank adoption in Vietnam in the recent period is reflected through the completion of the basic legal framework for the development of green banks and the growth of green credit in Vietnam’s banking system.

[4] Four groups of factors affecting the development of commercial banks in Vietnam include: Macro factors that have the greatest impact on the development of green banking in Vietnam; Financial capacity of the bank; Support policies on green banking development; Green investment demands.

[5] The development of green banking is an inevitable trend in the future period. The thesis has proposed a number of recommendations to contribute to the development of green banking in Vietnam by 2030, including: Improving macroeconomic factors; Enhancing and strengthening the financial situation of the bank; Providing necessary supports on green banking development; Encouraging green investment by business organizations.
