Abstract (300 words or less): The purpose of this research is to provide potential and obstacles in the development of GCC in Hanoi, thereby enhancing green finance, advancing sustainable economic development, and limiting environmental impact in the city. Specifically, this research considers the indirect relationship between environmental knowledge, environmental concern and behavioral intention through attitude, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control, the direct relationship between environmental knowledge, environmental concern and behavioral intention. This research defined two independent variables (EK, EC), three mediating variables (AT, SN, and PB), and one dependent variable (BI). The study’s primary data was collected through a survey with 205 people above 16 years old in Hanoi.
An extended version of the Theory of Planned Behavior is constructed in the theoretical framework. The PLS-SEM algorithm and bootstrapping are used in this research. The result shown that environmental concern has a positive influence on consumers’ attitudes subjective norms, perceived behavioral control, and behavioral intention to use GCCs; environmental knowledge does not directly affect the behavioral intention to use GCCs, however, it has a positive influence on attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control; attitude toward GCC, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control have a positive impact on consumers’ behavioral intention to use GCCs. The paper reinforces on several context- specific factors that can explain the potential of GCC development through the supported hypotheses.
The findings prove that using the extended TPB to examine behavioral intentions toward GCC is reasonable. Keywords (3 — 5 words) Green credit card, theory of planned behavior, behavioral intention, PLS-SEM, Hanoi. SUMMARY REPORT IN STUDENT RESEARCH CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION 1. Background of the study Nowadays, environmental pollution causes serious natural changes such as climate change.
At the 26th United Nations Climate Change Conference in Glasgow (COP26), Vietnam and nearly 150 countries committed to bringing net emissions to “zero” by 2050. In addition, Vietnam joined with more than 100 participating countries committed to reducing global methane emissions by 2030 compared to 2010; 141 countries in the Glasgow Declaration of leaders on forests and the use of land, and nearly 50 countries participated in the global declaration on transitioning coal power to green energy. In recent years, the rapid development of the economy and growth in income and consumption have created great demand for the financial services industry in general and credit cards in particular. By 2023, economic growth was estimated to reach 5.05%, besides, GDP per capita is estimated to reach 4,284 USD which has an increase of 160 USD compared to 2022 (GSO, 2024).
Parallel with that is the trend of sustainable development (SDGs) which is an increasingly popular concern in all different fields, and one of them is finance. In the context of these international commitments, implementing and developing green finance can contribute to helping Vietnam reduce environmental pollution (Sadiq et al. Furthermore, the Vietnamese government is also strongly strengthening green growth to cope with climate change and develop sustainable economic development. The Prime Minister approved the "National Strategy on Green Growth for the period 2011-2020 and Vision to 2050"; and approved the “Development Strategy for the Vietnam Banking Industry to 2025” on August, 8th, 2018 (Ngoc, 2023).
10 Currently, even though the world has seen an growth 1n the economy, problem that may be among the most concerned the most is sustainable development. Therefore, some methods has been taken to promote sustainable finance, green finance, and support sustainable lifestyles in developed countries. For example, TCM Bank in America issued the Green America Visa Card, which a deemed to exert a positive impact on the environment because a part of what the users spend will be donated to Green America’s work supporting green businesses, and a clean environment (Huang & Fitzpatrick, 2018). Besides, in England, Barclays Bank issued green credit cards (GCC) to encourage consumers to purchase the bank’s green products with low-interest rates.
Barclays Bank also success to make a positive impact to the environment such as supporting a low- carbon economy, saving energy, and protecting the environment (Campiglio, 2016; Xu, 2020). Another example is Korea which has developed GCC to encourage people to have a sustainable lifestyle and consumption behavior. GCC in general are deemed to encourage consumers to take more responsibility for the environment. However, living a green lifestyle is often inconvenient and can even be expensive, people have become accustomed to the modern convenient lifestyle, and changing consumer behavior is exceedingly difficult.
Despite these difficulties, this topic needs to be studied to find solutions to improve green lifestyles and help Vietnam solve environmental-related problems. Research objective The goal of this research is to identify and evaluate the impact of factors affecting people's behavioral intentions toward GCC. To achieve the above research goals, we need to answer and analyze the following questions: 1. What factors affect the behavioral intention of using GCC by people in Hanoi? 2.
What potentials and limitations does Hanoi have to apply for GCC? II 1. Scope of the study With the rapid development of the financial market in Vietnam and an increasingly competitive business environment, research on the potential for GCC development in Vietnam, especially in the capital Hanoi - which is considered one of the key economic development points in Vietnam, becoming extremely important. The topic “THE POTENTIAL OF GREEN CREDIT CARD DEVELOPMENT IN VIETNAM” is researched in Hanoi for many reasons. Firstly, Hanoi is a densely populated place and is a gathering place for people from all parts of Vietnam to come to study and work, therefore, research in Hanoi can collect the most objective results.
Second, surely the environment in Hanoi will suffer more damage because of crowded citizens, hence, Hanol is an ideal place to research the potential of GCC. For instance, the number of people is proportional to the number of vehicles, leading to more emissions. Another example is in the summer, the hotter the weather is, the more air conditions are used, and this can lead to global warming. This research can provide valuable information on consumption trends, consumer awareness, and the necessary factors to promote the transition to a more sustainable and greener payment system in Vietnam.
Significance of the study Hanoi is one of Vietnam's key economic regions, so it has many problems with pollution, climate change, and aiming for sustainable growth. The research project aims to improve this problem in both research and practice. The development of the GCC promotes a green lifestyle, which is a tool to encourage sustainable consumption behavior. This is a potential green financial product that contributes to promoting commitments to sustainable development set forth by the government.
Therefore, GCC needs to be further researched and developed in Vietnam. Using GCC has many benefits such as changing people's consumption habits, raising awareness about green consumption encouraging society to gradually change 12 to be "greener", accelerating banks to achieve sustainable development, and reducing credit risks. Moreover, GCC contributes to helping commercial banks diversify products, creating competitive advantages to meet the green banking trend. In addition, understanding the development potential of the GCC will help banks offer business solutions suitable to Vietnam's current context.
As a result, if GCC is developed in Vietnam, specifically in Hanoi, this will positively influence our country's economic model from “brown” to “green”. CHAPTER 2: LITERATURE REVIEW 2. Credit card (CC) Issued by commercial banks, CC is a card that allows the cardholder to make card transactions within the credit limit granted as agreed with the card issuer. CC allows cardholders to temporarily use the banks’ money within a certain limitation to pay for goods and services (SBV, 2016).
Whenever cardholders borrow money from a credit card, they must agree to repay the amount they use within a certain time at an agreed- upon fee or interest rate. CC is a convenient tool for conducting transactions. When used properly, it can enhance the credit score of the cardholders.
