Abstract
In Islamic banking, sustainability practices and its reporting are very low, due to limited literature and framework for measuring sustainability. This study measures the level of sustainability practices (economic, environmental, and social) based on GRI (Global Reporting Initiative) items that are transformed with Maqasid Al-Sharia theory and investigate how they affect financial performance. Using content analysis techniques in annual and sustainability reports for period 2014 - 2018, the results indicate that there has been increasing sustainability practices in Islamic banking but this practice has a weak influence on financial performance. These results support an urgent need for appropriate sustainability guidelines for Islamic banking, especially in Indonesia.
