Abstract

By contrasting Deutsche Bank's international experience with Weihai Bank's localization practices in China, this paper employs micro-level case studies to illuminate macro-level phenomena. It reveals the driving logic and evolutionary pathways of green financing behavior under differing institutional environments, while offering practical insights for localizing international expertise within China's banking sector during its green transition. The discussion will separately analyze the green financing strategies and existing challenges of Deutsche Bank and Weihai Bank within their respective institutional contexts, identifying complementary strengths and weaknesses for mutual enhancement. Employing SWOT analysis, this paper will conduct detailed examinations of both institutions, highlighting divergences in green financing philosophies and strategies between Chinese and international banks. This provides insights for innovative financing model development under green development principles.
