The committees help the Board discharge its oversight responsibilities through in-depth examinations of policies and practices. In addition, the Development Committee was established in 1974 is composed of 25 members. This committee facilitates intergovernmental consensus building on development issues and advises the Boards of Governors of both the Bank and the Fund on critical topics. The World Bank operates day to day under the leadership and direction of the president; management and senior staff; and the vice presidents in charge of regions, sectors, networks, and functions.

The Bank's Core Values are personal honesty, integrity, commitment; working together in teams—with openness and trust; empowering others and respecting differences; encouraging risk-taking and responsibility; and enjoying our work and our families. The Bank's Code of Conduct, entitled Living Our Values, provides guidance on how to exercise good judgment and apply the Bank Group’s core values in practice. It overarches the principles of staff employment, staff rules, and policies by articulating in one document the responsibilities and commitments that staff have to each other, to the institution, and to other key stakeholders. All staff are required to take a course on ethics and the Code of Conduct. Six strategic themes drive our efforts. By focusing on these strategic themes, the Bank delivers technical, financial, and other assistance to those most in need and where it can have the greatest impact and promote growth: to the poorest countries, fragile states, and the Arab world; to middle-income countries; to solving global public goods issues; and to delivering knowledge and learning services.

At the global and regional levels, civil society organizations (CSOs) have been formally consulted on the major policies introduced or updated by World Bank staff in recent years in such areas as forest management, information disclosure, indigenous peoples, and resettlement. Poverty reduction strategies (PRSPs) and the expansion of the debt relief program (HIPC) have also benefited from extensive consultation with civil society. Consultations have also become common around reports such as the annual World Development Report (WDR) and evaluations carried out by the independent Operations and Evaluation Department (OED). At the country level, the World Bank is consulting with a broad spectrum of CSOs on Country Assistance Strategy (CAS), sector studies, and individual Bank-funded development projects. Often these consultations are multi-stakeholder and involve CSOs, governments, businesses, and other donor agencies. With the advent of the PRSPs, governments are being encouraged to the take the lead in convening consultations on macro-economic and poverty-reduction policies. The breadth and scope of these consultations vary depending on the nature of the project, expressed interest on the part of civil society, and the openness of the local government.

As such, they are a central pillar of World Bank Group assistance. Over the last 20 years, the WBG has built up a rich portfolio of biodiversity projects, a large amount co-financed by the Global Environmental Facility, making the WBG one of the largest sources for biodiversity worldwide. A substantial amount of that investment has been dedicated to protected areas, but there is an increasing focus on improving natural resource management and mainstreaming biodiversity into other sectors, including forestry, coastal zone management, and agriculture. The Bank’s new Environment Strategy makes green a central tenet of its approach, focusing on the need to secure natural resource integrity to grow economies and reduce the integrity to grow economies and reduce the vulnerability of local communities to external shocks (for example, from food price instability or climate change). In addition, there are a number of partnerships, including the Global Tiger Initiative and Save our Species Program, and publications such as "Biodiversity, Climate Change, and Adaptation,” that provide vehicles for the WBG to use its financial resources, convening authority, and intellectual leadership to enhance biodiversity outcomes globally. The Bank has also launched the Global Partnership for Oceans to accelerate the sustainable management of the ocean, including for the benefit of marine biodiversity. 2010 Environment Strategy Analytical Background Paper: The Role of Biodiversity and Ecosystems in Sustainable Development Environment Matters Web Portal "Biodiversity, Climate Change, and Adaptation" Global Tiger Initiative Save Our Species EN15 Number of IUCN Red List The World Bank Group does not assess its Fully Reported species and national conservation list impact on individual species but rather species with habitats in areas affected operates on the level of habitat.

Biodiversity at the World Bank Global Tiger Initiative Save Our Species EN16 Total direct and indirect The World Bank measures direct and indirect Fully Reported greenhouse gas emissions by weight greenhouse gas emissions for its internal (Core) operations based on site-specific data for facilites and using the GHG Protocol. Estimates are made for those facilities with missing data. For World Bank's Washington, DC facilities, GHG emissions were about 48,426 metric tons CO2e in FY 12; 46,752 mtCO2e in FY 11; 49,001 metric tons CO2eq in FY 10; and 51,350 mtCO2e in FY 09. Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions from country office facilities and vehicles were estimated to be 20,741 mtCO2e in FY 11, 15,765 mtCO2e in FY 10, and 15,459 mtCO2e in FY 09. Data from country offices lag by one year. As stated in EN 03 and EN 04, increases can be attributed to improved data completeness from our country offices and the addition of a large building to our Washington, DC portfolio. More on WB's Corporate Climate Commitment Report on GHG Analysis at the WB EN17 Other relevant indirect GHG emissions considered optional for Fully Reported greenhouse gas emissions by weight reporting purposes but key to our internal (Core) operations include business travel and our major meetings. GHG emissions from staff based in our country offices were 39,686 mtCO2e in FY 12, 34,542 mtCO2e in FY 11, 39,110 mtCO2e in FY 10, and 36,712 mtCO2e in FY 09. For staff based in our DC offices, these emissions totaled 63,482 in FY 12, 60,928 mtCO2e in FY 11, 76,435 mtCO2e in FY 10, 73,261 mtCO2e in FY 09. These figures reflect both the decentralization efforts of the Bank, moving staff closer to clients but increasing country-office-based travel, as well as the increased needs to respond to our clients demands in a time of global economic crisis. More on WB's Corporate Climate Commitment EN18 Initiatives to reduce greenhouse Aligned with our mission of sustainable Fully Reported gas emissions and reductions achieved development, which includes a commitment to intensify our energy efficiency and alternative energy lending, and to reduce the GHG emissions associated with our internal operations, the World Bank is investing in energy efficiency initiatives in our own facilities. The Bank is in the process of establishing an Emissions Reduction Strategy. Building engineers in the Corporate Real Estate and Facilities group go above and beyond each day to ensure Bank facilities operate as efficiently as possible. In our Washington, DC offices, energy use (electricity and gas) increased in FY 12 mostly due to the addition of a new building to our portfolio. This will be offset once we fully vacate our oldest building. We also continue to investigate emerging technologies in making our buildings more energy efficienct, including the expected replacement of inefficient chillers in our main complex in FY 14. More on WB's Corporate Climate Commitment EN19 Emissions of ozone-depleting The World Bank currently uses Fully Reported substances by weight (Core) ozone-depleting substances (ODS) in a few of its older chillers. These chillers are scheduled for replacement in the next few years, and the related ODS will be captured and destroyed properly. In FY2007, FY2008, FY2010, and FY2012, the WB emitted 300 pounds of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) from the regular use of chillers in its buildings in Washington, D.C. There were no emissions of ODS in FY2009 or FY2011. In addition, the WB has had a strong partnership with the Multilateral Fund (MLF) for the Implementation of the Montreal Protocol since its establishment in 1987. The WB continues to assist the MLF to preserve human health and the environment by protecting the Earth's stratospheric ozone layer and recently celebrated the 25th anniversary of the Montreal Protocol.

In FY 12, the WB diverted nearly 58% of its waste from landfills, which includes the recycling of cardboard, paper, comingled bottles and cans, carpet tiles, electronics; as well as the composting of food waste. This is a slight decrease from 2011, when just over 58% of waste was diverted from the landfill. In FY 2012, 344 metric tons of paper, 18 metric tons of bottles and cans, 668 metric tons of cardboard, 6 metric tons of toner cartidges, 39 metric tons of carpet tiles, and 138 metric tons of electronics were recycled. Additionally, nearly metric 700 tons of compostable food waste was diverted from the landfill in FY 12.

During the mitigation (Core) Project Identification phase, the Bank requires environmental assessment (EA) of all projects with potential adverse environmental and social impacts proposed for Bank financing to support decision making and support sustainable development. EA takes into account the natural environment (air, water, and land); human health and safety; social aspects (including involuntary resettlement and Indigenous Peoples; and transboundary and global environmental aspects. EA evaluates a project's potential environmental and social impacts and risks in its area of influence; examines project alternatives; identifies ways of improving project selection, siting, planning, design, and implementation by preventing, minimizing, mitigating, or compensating for adverse environmental and social impacts and enhancing positive impacts; and includes the process of mitigating and managing adverse environmental impacts throughout project implementation. The Bank favors preventive measures over mitigatory or compensatory measures, whenever feasible.

In FY 12, WB Washington, DC - organization's operations, and based staff traveled more than 292 million transporting members of the workforce miles, emitting 56,010 metric tons of CO2 equivalent (mtCO2e). In FY 11, D.C.-based employees traveled over 279 million miles, emitting 53,456 mtCO2e. In FY 10, DC-based employees travelled over 317 million miles, employees travelled over 317 million miles, emitting 62,636 mtCO2e. By comparison, WB country office-based staff travelled nearly 210 million miles in FY 12, resulting in 39,686 mtCO2e. In FY 11, WB country office-based staff travelled nearly 183 million miles, emitting 34,541 mtCO2e. In FY 10, country office-based staff travelled over 201 million miles, emitting 39,100 mtCO2e. In addition, the World Bank contracts for the use of two shuttles to transport employees between buildings in Washington, DC. In FY 12, over 3000 gallons of 20% biodiesel was used in these vehicles, resulting in emissions of around 26 mtCO2e. In FY 11, nearly the same amount of biodiesel was used (over 3000 gallons), resulting in emissions of 26 mtCO2e. In FY 10, when the World Bank owned and operated only one employee shuttle which made fewer trips, the shuttle used over 400 gallons of gasoline resulting in emissions of just over 4 mtCO2e.

The Bank is also developing new tools to account for and assess the value of the carbon footprint of projects. Details can be found in the Annual Report and the Climate Change website. The World Bank's internal operations are managed by the General Services Department (GSD) which provides a wide range of integrated services to make the Bank's internal operations efficient, comfortable, and environmentally sound. The business managers of the Global Real Estate, Travel, Food Services, Printing and Multimedia, and other units are responsible for incorporating environmental concerns into the management of their offices. The Corporate Responsibility (CR) Program supports Bank-wide efforts to integrate environmental and social concerns into the management of day-to-day activities, and communicates with staff, clients, and partners regarding these concerns. Efficiencies gained by implementing select Initiatives are highlighted in the Corporate Responsibility website. In addition, the Bank offsets its emissions in two different ways. Emissions associated with Scope two emissions (electricity) are offset through the use of Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) which are associated with new wind generated electricity. We offset other emissions (Scope 1 and Scope 3) through the purchase of Verified Emission Reductions (VERs). In FY 12, the Bank maintained carbon neutrality by the purchase of Verified Emissions Reductions from a run-of-the-river hydropower project in Chile. Total expenditures related to our carbon neutral commitment were nearly $1 million in FY 12.

A program was launched in 2009 to develop a more informed view among Bank staff on how human rights relates to the Bank's core work and mission of promoting economic growth and poverty reduction, and is being supported by a $17.5 million multi-year and multi donor Nordic Trust Fund. This program supports internal learning events that disseminates knowledge about how human rights relate to the Bank's analytical and operational work, as well as an internal grant program where Bank teams receive technical and financial support to explore the role of human rights in their particular project or task. Since inception some 1,000 Bank staff has participated directly in about 70 learning events offered and 28 teams across the World Bank Group have received grants and benefitted from learning about human rights on-the-job. In addition, WB environmental and social safeguard policies are a cornerstone of its support to sustainable poverty reduction. The objective of these policies is to prevent and mitigate undue harm to people and their environment in the development process. In FY2012, the Operations Policy and Country Services (OPCS) safeguards unit delivered 31 sessions on WB safeguard policies to 650 Bank staff.

EA evaluates a project's potential environmental risks and impacts in its area of influence; examines project alternatives; identifies ways of improving project selection, siting, planning, design, and implementation by preventing, minimizing, mitigating, or compensating for adverse environmental impacts and enhancing positive impacts; and includes the process of mitigating and managing adverse environmental impacts throughout project implementation. The Bank favors preventive measures over mitigatory or compensatory measures, whenever feasible.

In addition, the Bank finances many Community Driven Development (CDD) programs. CDD is an approach to development that supports participatory decision making, local capacity building, and community control of resources. Many CDD programs directly finance small community managed projects and allow poor people to become actively involved in the development of their communities. This allows communities to identify their own development priorities, hire contractors, manage project funds, and on completion of construction manage and sustain the project. In FY2011, the total amount of financing going to communities/local governments as grants/loans equaled $2.62 billion, a decrease from FY2010, which was $5.1 billion. The number of new projects with CDD elements fell to 54, which was partly due to bigger projects now and also because in the FY2011 update the Bank used a stricter definition for CDD in the database, which, for instance, moved out the develoopment policy lendings (DPLs). Public consultation, social assessment (questionnaires, site visits), social action plans, Indigenous Peoples action plans, and displaced peoples action plans are also incorporated into the legal agreements for grants and loans as part of project design. Lastly, the World Bank Group strives to be a responsible citizen in the communities where it operates and has offices. The WBG encourages involvement of individual staff in the communities where they live and has an official community outreach program that encourages charitable giving and staff volunteerism. Staff members donate both their time and their money to local and international organizations in Washington, DC, and abroad.

Working with other Bank units, governments, the private sector, civil society, and other international institutions, the Integrity Vice Presidency (INT) contributes to the Bank’s governance and anticorruption efforts to promote a stronger development impact. Established in 2001, INT is the independent arm of the Bank responsible for investigating allegations of fraud and corruption in Bank-financed projects as well as allegations of serious fraud and corruption involving staff. By combining investigation with an enhanced focus on prevention and the early detection of red flags in projects, INT promotes a proactive approach to managing fraud and corruption risks across the Bank’s operations. INT has highly specialized international investigators assigned to each of the six Bank regions. In addition, INT‘s preventive services unit and a forensic accounting unit are designed to support projects and to offer advice on how to mitigate a project’s vulnerability to fraud and corruption. The units also provide training to project teams; implementing entities and other national institutions; and representatives of the private sector, including contractors and consultants. In September 2010, as part of its sanctions reform, the Bank adopted debarment with conditional release as its default sanction. As a result, INT established the Office of Integrity Compliance and posted the Bank’s new Integrity Compliance Guidelines. The guidelines incorporate internationally recognized integrity standards and principles and set a benchmark that all debarred firms need to reach before they may recommence work on Bank-financed projects. Details are available on the INT website.

Each project is governed by a legal agreement between the World Bank and the government that receives the funds. One of the key obligations in the "Loan Agreement" is that governments abide by the relevant Bank's procurement policies as detailed in the Guidelines: Procurement under IBRD Loans and IDA Credits; the Guidelines: Selection and Employment of Consultants by World Bank Borrowers; and the Guidelines: Procurement of Goods, Works, and Non-Consulting Services under IBRD Loans and IDA Credits & Grants.

Within the overall set of Operational Policies, there are ten key policies that are critical to ensuring that potentially adverse environmental and social consequences are identified, minimized, and mitigated. These safeguard policies receive particular attention during the project preparation and approval process. The safeguard policies deal with environmental and social assessments, natural habitats, pest management, cultural property, involuntary resettlement, Indigenous Peoples, forests, dam safety, international waterways, disputed areas, uses of country systems, and finally a detailed disclosure policy to assure public transparency and review of operations. A multidisciplinary unit monitors the application of safeguards throughout the Bank, along with regional safeguard units. Fiduciary policies include rules governing financial management, procurement, and disbursement. There are also detailed guidelines for the selection of consultants and the procurement of goods and works in projects financed by the World Bank.
