Abstract

Women empowerment in Nepal public banks is providing the scope of sustainable business management by eliminating the gender gap discrimination. Diverse perspectives and social governance in the leadership style of women drives sustainable business management practices (Bulmer et al., 2021). In Nepal public banks the trend of women leadership is increasing due to the enhancing educational opportunities and awareness of women empowerment. Women leadership strategies in the organisations are willing to develop an inclusive work environment and foster community engagement as well. The main challenge of women leadership in Nepal is lack of educational facilities and social awareness on women empowerment (Acharya, 2025). The promotion of women leadership in Nepal’s public banks contributes to generate social awareness and mitigate the gender gap in the developing economies.

Increased stakeholder engagement, inclusive and ethical practices also can be developed in Nepal's public banks is getting encouraged through women leadership. Compliance of terms, such as “gender pay gap, women empowerment and workplace security” in the ESG policy of the banking sector can ensure a sustainable management system (Hsu, 2024). Regarding this, Nepal’s banking sector is promoting women leadership in the management decision and initiating sustainability growth in the organisational performances. Social and government collaboration in women education and empowerment are providing the scope of future leadership opportunity in the professional sector (Ogbari et al., 2024). Therefore, long-term vision, ESG performance, stakeholder engagement and commitment to DEI through women leadership is establishing sustainability practices in Nepal’s banking sector.
