Abstract
The response to the GRI Indicators presents a glimpse into the World Banks (also known as the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development or IBRD in the capital market) complex suite of activities. 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. 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 percent of World Bank staff) with country office data noted, when relevant.

Publication GRI Index FY11(Washington, DC, 2011-06-30)The response to the global reporting initiative (GRI) indicators provides a brief introduction to the World Bank’s (WB’s) complex suite of activities. The WB consists of the International Bank of Reconstruction and Development (IBRD) and the International Development Association (IDA). Materiality is determined through an assessment carried out based on GRI guidance. The assessment evaluates the risks to the organization, the importance to stakeholders, and the contribution to the organization’s mission. The annual GRI update encompasses global WB operations. WB manages and reports on the buildings that house staff that work on IBRD, IDA, Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency (MIGA), and Global Environment Facility (GEF) secretariat. GRI indicators for environment, apply primarily to performance of Washington, District of Columbia (D.C.) facilities (which house 60 percent of WB staff) with country office data noted, when relevant. The response attempts to be comprehensive, and provide links to further information in the annual report and throughout the Banks website, where up to date information may be found. The WB reports on a fiscal year basis which extends from June 1 through July 31st. This report covers FY 2011 (July 1, 2010 - June 30, 2011).Publication GRI Index FY08(Washington, DC, 2008-06-30)The response to the GRI Indicators presents a glimpse into the World Banks (also known as the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development or IBRD in the capital market) complex suite of activities.

The topics deemed relevant for disclosure were identified by assessing annual corporate priorities outlined by the institutions’ Boards and President, considering stakeholder input, as well as ascertaining sustainability impacts of carrying out the mission and vision. To determine if a GRI aspect is material for the WB to report on, an assessment was carried out based on: (1) the potential impact on the Bank’s business, and (2) the sustainability impacts stemming from its business. The most material aspects of the Bank’s internal operations include the following: staffs are the Bank’s greatest asset; and reducing the Bank’s own corporate environmental impacts. The WB reports on a fiscal year basis, which extends from July 1 through June 30. This report covers fiscal 2014 (July 1, 2013 - June 30, 2014).Publication 2015 GRI Index(Washington, DC, 2015-10-01)This 2015 index of sustainability indicators has been prepared in accordance with the internationally recognized standard for sustainability reporting Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) guidelines and complies with the ‘core option.’ The GRI Index provides an overview of sustainability considerations within the World Bank’s lending and analytical services as well as its day-to-day operations and management of staff. The World Bank aims to be comprehensive in its reporting and thus the Index includes indicators from GRIs financial sector supplement. The GRI Index covers activities from fiscal 2015, July 1, 2014, through June 30, 2015.
