GRI Index FY08

The response to the GRI Indicators presents a glimpse into the World Bank's (also known as the InternationalBank 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 clientsdetermine materiality for the purposes of this report. Reporting priorities are determined annually based on thecorporate priorities of the given year and queries by the SRI community. Stakeholders are also identified withthe assistance of relevant departments throughout the Bank.

Boundary: This Review encompasses World Bank operations globally. The World Bank consists of twoagencies: IBRD and IDA (International Development Agency). Except for the terms of lending to membercountries, the agencies are tightly integrated and work as a single unit. Therefore, staff of the World Bank, areconsidered "IBRD" staff, even if they work on IDA funded projects or for other donor-funded initiatives, throughhundreds 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 alsoprovided. 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).

Governance, Commitment and Engagement

4.1 Governancestructure of theorganization, includingcommittees under thehighest governancebody responsible forspecific tasks, such assetting strategy ororganizational oversight

The World Bank is like a cooperative, where its 185 membercountries are shareholders. The shareholders are representedby a Board of Governors, who are the ultimate policy makers atthe World Bank. Generally, the governors are member countries'ministers of finance or ministers of development. They meetonce a year at the Annual Meetingsof the Boards of Governorsof the World Bank Groupand the International Monetary Fund. Because the governors only meet annually, they delegatespecific duties to 24 Executive Directors (EDs), who make upthe Board of Directors of the World Bank and work on-site at theBank. The five largest shareholders, France, Germany, Japan,the United Kingdom and the United States appoint an executivedirector. The 19 remaining EDs are elected by the Bank's othermembers.

The President of the World Bank chairs meetings of the Board ofDirectors. All EDs are members of the Steering Committee,which produces the Board's work program. Each ED also serveson one or more of five standing committees: the AuditCommittee, Budget Committee, Committee on DevelopmentEffectiveness (CODE), Personnel Committee, and Committeeon Governance and Executive Directors' Administrative Matters.The committees help the Board discharge its oversightresponsibilities through in-depth examinations of policies andpractices.

In addition, the Development Committee was established in1974 to serve as a forum for the World Bank and theInternational Monetary Fund to facilitate intergovernmentalconsensus-building on development issues. The Committee'smandate is to advise the Boards of Governors of the Bank andthe Fund on critical development issues and on the financialresources required to promote economic development indeveloping countries. Over the years, the Committee hasinterpreted this mandate to include trade and globalenvironmental issues in addition to traditional developmentmatters.

The World Bank operates day-to-day under the leadership anddirection of the president, management and senior staff, and thevice presidents in charge of regions, sectors, networks andfunctions.

4.5 Linkage bewtweencompensation formembers of the highestgovernance body, seniormanagers, andexecutives, and theorganization'sperformance

There is no linkage between compensation for Board members,senior managers, executives, and organizational performance.Salaries are fixed based on level. To recruit and retain highly qualified staff, the World Bank Grouphas developed a compensation and benefits system designed tobe internationally competitive, to reward performance, and totake into account the special needs of a multinational andlargely expatriate staff. The Bank Group’s staff salary structureis reviewed annually by the Executive Directors and, ifwarranted, is adjusted on the basis of a comparison withsalaries paid by private fi nancial and industrial firms and byrepresentative public sector agencies in the U.S. market. Afteranalyses of updated comparator salaries, the Board approvedan average increase in the salary structure of 3.5 percent forfiscal 2008, effective July 1, 2007, for Washington-appointedstaff.

The World Bank's mission is to fight poverty with passion andprofessionalism for lasting results. To help people helpthemselves and their environment by providing resources,sharing knowledge, building capacity and forging partnerships inthe public and private sectors.

In the context of Bank-supported activities, stakeholders areconsidered those who are affected, whether positively ornegatively, by a proposed intervention. Who the stakeholdersare for any given project or issue depends on the situation.Getting the right groups involved is essential, but it is not alwayseasy, since our stakeholders range from donor and clientgovernments to the poorest and most marginalizedcommunities.

4.16 Approaches tostakeholderengagement, includingfrequency ofengagement by type andby stakeholder group

The World Bank engages civil society organizations (CSOs) inthree ways: First, it facilitates dialogue and partnership between civil societyand governments by providing resources, training, technicalsupport, and often playing a convening role. That type ofengagement can be best seen in the process of formulation ofthe country poverty reduction strategies (PRSPs).

Second, the Bank dialogues and consults with CSOs on issues,policies and programs, by listening to their perspectives andinviting suggestions. These interactions vary from consultationson global policies, such as social safeguards and adjustmentlending, to discussions on local Bank-financed projects.

Third, the Bank partners directly with CSOs through contractingtechnical assistance and training services, funding civil societyinitiatives, and managing joint programs. There are manyexamples of active partnerships in the areas of forestconservation, AIDS vaccines, rural poverty, micro-credit, andexpanding internet usage.

SO2 Percentage andtotal number of unitsanalyzed for corruption

Over the past decade, the World Bank has recognized corruptionas one of the greatest obstacles to economic and socialdevelopment. In 1996, President Jim Wolfensohn publiclyacknowledged that the WB's lending programs were vulnerable to“the cancer of corruption” and called for action. In the ten yearssince the Board of Executive Directors endorsed the World BankGroup’s first anticorruption strategy, the Bank Group has madesignificant progress in the fight against corruption. The BankGroup has also taken steps to address the broadergovernance-related issues that can allow corruption to flourish. In 2001, the World Bank Group established the Department ofInstitutional Integrity (INT ) to investigate allegations of fraud andcorruption in Bank-financed projects as well as possible staffmisconduct. The Integrity Department also assists in preventativeefforts to protect Bank Group funds, and those funds entrusted toit, from misuse and to deter fraud and corruption in its operations.

An investigation into fraud and corruption can have severaloutcomes, all of which are meant to hold accountable those foundto have engaged in wrongdoing. When firms or individuals arefound through an INT investigation to have engaged in fraudulent,corrupt, collusive, coercive or obstructive practices (as defined inthe IBRD/IDA Anti-Corruption Guidelines, October 15, 2006),these entities may be subject to an administrative sanction suchas debarment. In addition, entities found to have obstructed aninvestigation may also be sanctionable. For further details, seelink below.

In fiscal year 2007 (FY07), the World Bank Group’s Board ofExecutive Directors unanimously endorsed a new Governanceand Anticorruption (GAC) Strategy which aims to heighten theinstitution’s focus on these areas as an integral part of its work toreduce poverty and promote economic growth.
