About this site: 

The FY 2011 Sustainability Review brings together information on the World Bank’s commitment to sustainable development building on the Annual financial report, and using international standards as the foundation.

Through the Governance and Accountability section, readers can delve into the World Bank's governing structure, project cycle, and annual reporting.

Stakeholder Responsibility reviews the Bank's interactions with shareholders, partners, clients, and staff. This section delves into the Bank's commitment to a quality workplace, ensuring fair staff benefits, staff safety, and partnerships in our local communities.

The Corporate Environmental Responsibility section highlights initiatives under way to measure and reduce the Bank's corporate environmental impact, including greenhouse gas emissions associated with our day-to-day internal operations, and our upstream and downstream impacts. This is where readers can find the corporate carbon inventory and Inventory Management Plan.

While the World Bank has published stand-alone Sustainability Reports in the past, this website has been set up to provide a library of information about sustainability within the World Bank, with links to further and more current information. A comprehensive Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) index, with responses to specific indicators, is updated annually.

The GRI index, in addition to our previous reports, is available under the GRI Index tab.
