Today, the world economy is facing a massive challenge in solving environmental problems and their impact on daily business. Banks are introducing green banking services over the recent years in Sri Lanka. However, not many important findings have been made in the background research on Sri Lanka's green banking practices and customers' use of green banking resources. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to measure the impact of green banking practices on customer usage of green banking services of the bank. To accomplish this goal, quantitative research has been done collecting primary data from 75 randomly selected customers in the 8 branches of ABC Bank PLC in the Colombo South region Sri Lanka. A structured a questionnaire has been used to collect required data and data analysis has been conducted using correlation and regression analysis.
