Accountability
Grievances

Bankinter has a 'Repair process for adverse effects against human rights' in place. The bank mentions in its Human rights due diligence procedure that "to repair any possible damages caused that could occur despite the established controls and mitigation mechanisms, the company provides channels so that those affected can inform the entity of the activities or behaviours that could be in violation of human rights."

Bankinter is an Equator Principles signatory. While the Equator Principles have no official grievance mechanism, complaints relating to this bank's financing of Equator Principles projects can be filed through our own website www.equator-complaints.org.

This page evaluates Bankinter's responses to instances of alleged human rights violations linked to its finance, raised by civil society organisations. It is not intended to be exhaustive, but covers selected impacts raised by BankTrack and other civil society partners since 2016. For the full scoring methodology, see here. For more information about BankTrack's evaluation of bank responses to human rights impacts, see the 2021 report "Actions speak louder: assessing bank responses to human rights violations".
