100338 GRI Index FY08 The response to the GRI Indicators presents a glimpse into the World Bank's (also known as the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development or IBRD in the capital market) complex suite of activities. Materiality: Topics that are of interest to sustainable investment communities, NGOs, and country clients determine materiality for the purposes of this report. Reporting priorities are determined annually based on the corporate priorities of the given year and queries by the SRI community. Stakeholders are also identified with the assistance of relevant departments throughout the Bank. Boundary: This Review encompasses World Bank operations globally. The World Bank consists of two agencies: IBRD and IDA (International Development Agency). Except for the terms of lending to member countries, the agencies are tightly integrated and work as a single unit. Therefore, staff of the World Bank, are considered "IBRD" staff, even if they work on IDA funded projects or for other donor-funded initiatives, through hundreds of trust funds. Similarly, World Bank manages the buildings that house staff that work on IBRD, IDA, MIGA, and GEF projects. GRI indicators for EN apply primarily to performance of Washington, D.C. facilities (which house 60% of World Bank staff) with country office data noted, when relevant. Completeness: Links to further information in the Annual Report and throughout the Bank's website are also provided. Some GRI indicators are not applicable to our operations and have been noted as such. Reporting period: The World Bank reports on a fiscal year basis which extends from June 1 through July 31st. This report covers FY2008 (July 1, 2008 - June 30, 2008).

The shareholders are represented Reported organization, including by a Board of Governors, who are the ultimate policy makers at committees under the the World Bank. Generally, the governors are member countries' highest governance ministers of finance or ministers of development. They meet body responsible for once a year at the Annual Meetingsof the Boards of Governors specific tasks, such as of the World Bank Groupand the International Monetary Fund. setting strategy or Because the governors only meet annually, they delegate organizational oversight specific duties to 24 Executive Directors (EDs), who make up the Board of Directors of the World Bank and work on-site at the Bank. The five largest shareholders, France, Germany, Japan, the United Kingdom and the United States appoint an executive director. The 19 remaining EDs are elected by the Bank's other members. The President of the World Bank chairs meetings of the Board of Directors. All EDs are members of the Steering Committee, which produces the Board's work program. Each ED also serves on one or more of five standing committees: the Audit Committee, Budget Committee, Committee on Development Effectiveness (CODE), Personnel Committee, and Committee on Governance and Executive Directors' Administrative Matters. 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 to serve as a forum for the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund to facilitate intergovernmental consensus-building on development issues. The Committee's mandate is to advise the Boards of Governors of the Bank and the Fund on critical development issues and on the financial resources required to promote economic development in developing countries. Over the years, the Committee has interpreted this mandate to include trade and global environmental issues in addition to traditional development matters. 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 goals provide us with targets and yardsticks for measuring results. In addition, President Zoellick outlined six strategic themes for addressing global challenges (more information below). The World Bank's 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. These policies provide guidelines for bank and borrower staffs in the identification, preparation, and implementation of programs and projects. WB's Safeguard Policies form the basis of the internationally accepted Equator Principles. These policies and principles are applicable across the organization in each region and department.

Getting the right groups involved is essential, but it is not always easy, since our stakeholders range from donor and client governments to the poorest and most marginalized communities. Defining Civil Society 4.16 Approaches to The World Bank engages civil society organizations (CSOs) in Fully stakeholder three ways: Reported engagement, including First, it facilitates dialogue and partnership between civil society frequency of and governments by providing resources, training, technical engagement by type and support, and often playing a convening role. That type of by stakeholder group engagement can be best seen in the process of formulation of the country poverty reduction strategies (PRSPs). Second, the Bank dialogues and consults with CSOs on issues, policies and programs, by listening to their perspectives and inviting suggestions. These interactions vary from consultations on global policies, such as social safeguards and adjustment lending, to discussions on local Bank-financed projects. Third, the Bank partners directly with CSOs through contracting technical assistance and training services, funding civil society initiatives, and managing joint programs. There are many examples of active partnerships in the areas of forest conservation, AIDS vaccines, rural poverty, micro-credit, and expanding internet usage.

A New Compensation System for Country Offices was initially introduced in 2001 and replaced the Revised Compensation System or the UNDP Salary System. The World Bank Group’s job grading system covers all staff world-wide (except consultants and temporary staff). It is designed to ensure equal pay for equal work, grading consistency across the organization, as well as consistency in job posting, selection/recruitment, promotion and career development. This new system features better balance between internal equity (Washington/Country Offices) and labor market competitiveness (local and international).

In the project development process, the World Bank has safeguard policies to protect cultural heritage, enhance the well-being of indigenous peoples and involuntarily resettled people. These policies have provided a platform for participation of groups who might otherwise be marginalized in project design and have been an important instrument for building ownership among local populations. In addition, the World Bank is an active “corporate citizen” in the local communities in which we live and work. Staff members donate both their time and their money to local and international organizations in Washington, DC and abroad.Community Outreach Grants Program, Education and Youth Program, Community Connections Campaign, Staff Volunteerism, & Disaster Relief program.

In 1996, President Jim Wolfensohn publicly acknowledged that the WB's lending programs were vulnerable to “the cancer of corruption” and called for action. In the ten years since the Board of Executive Directors endorsed the World Bank Group’s first anticorruption strategy, the Bank Group has made significant progress in the fight against corruption. The Bank Group has also taken steps to address the broader governance-related issues that can allow corruption to flourish. In 2001, the World Bank Group established the Department of Institutional Integrity (INT ) to investigate allegations of fraud and corruption in Bank-financed projects as well as possible staff misconduct. The Integrity Department also assists in preventative efforts to protect Bank Group funds, and those funds entrusted to it, from misuse and to deter fraud and corruption in its operations. An investigation into fraud and corruption can have several outcomes, all of which are meant to hold accountable those found to have engaged in wrongdoing. When firms or individuals are found through an INT investigation to have engaged in fraudulent, corrupt, collusive, coercive or obstructive practices (as defined in the IBRD/IDA Anti-Corruption Guidelines, October 15, 2006), these entities may be subject to an administrative sanction such as debarment. In addition, entities found to have obstructed an investigation may also be sanctionable. For further details, see link below. In fiscal year 2007 (FY07), the World Bank Group’s Board of Executive Directors unanimously endorsed a new Governance and Anticorruption (GAC) Strategy which aims to heighten the institution’s focus on these areas as an integral part of its work to reduce poverty and promote economic growth. The Integrity Department's work is just one part of the World Bank's extensive anticorruption efforts. Other principal offices pursuing our broader engagement in governance and anticorruption include the Poverty Reduction and Economic Management (PREM ) network; the World Bank Institute (WRI); Operations Policy and Country Services (OPCS); the Legal Vice Presidency; and the Bank Group’s regional staff. In order to be most effective, the Bank also works with numerous external stakeholders, including other multilateral and bilateral development institutions, civil society, and the private sector.

Debarment may be permanent or temporary, and is meant to prevent and deter fraud and corruption in the projects that the Bank finances or supports. In FY2007, an Independent Panel, headed by former Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker, was appointed by the World Bank to review the work of the Bank’s Department of Institutional Integrity (INT). The Panel considered INT’s work in the broader context of the Bank’s new strategy adopted earlier in 2007 to help borrowing countries develop effective governance and anticorruption programs.
