BankTrack's Human Rights Response Tracking Database
BankTrack's Response Tracking database covers instances in which civil society organisations have sought responses from banks regarding alleged human rights impacts associated with their finance.
Each response was assessed against BankTrack's Response Tracking criteria, which evaluate whether a bank responded substantively, addressing the allegations raised; whether it took appropriate action to prevent, mitigate, or address the impact; and whether the bank has monitored the effectiveness of its actions.
Scores of 0, 0.5, or 1 were assigned to each criterion for every bank's response, following the methodology first outlined in BankTrack’s Actions Speak Louder report, updated in 2024, and later integrated into BankTrack's Global Human Rights Benchmark.
This database contains 243 communications between civil society groups and banks, covering 20 different cases of human rights allegations involving 52 banks since 2021. The information provided here was last updated in October 2024.
