Abstract On the basis of the original camel rating system, this study added the green indicator and formed the G-CAMELS evaluation system (An improved rating system based on the CAMELS rating system to evaluate the business operation of financial institutions more comprehensively.) to comprehensively evaluate the competitiveness of commercial banks. It followed China's current requirements for the sustainable development of commercial banks. In this paper, factor analysis, entropy methods, and dynamic evaluation models are used to obtain the ranking of competitiveness. In addition, according to the same steps as above, the comprehensive ranking based on the CAMELS evaluation system (A comprehensive rating system which is standardized, institutionalized and indexed for business operations of commercial banks and other financial institutions.) was obtained. The two ranking systems were compared. It is found that with the entropy weight method, in the G-CAMELS system, the weight of the green index is quite large, so it magnifies the impact of the financial industry on the environment. Compared with the original CAMELS system, the newly formed system will increase the ranking of state-owned banks and there is no significant change in the ranking of joint-stock banks. In order to improve the competitiveness of banks, state-owned banks should innovate their banking business and continue to implement the green credit policy; joint-stock banks should continue to seize the opportunity of green credit and expand profitability while paying attention to safety. In addition, the government could consider relaxing green credit standards for city commercial banks to ease pressure on banks.
