BankTrack’s Human Rights Benchmark evaluates 50 of the largest private sector commercial banks globally against a set of 14 criteria based on the requirements of the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights(‘the Guiding Principles’). The criteria examine four aspects of banks’ implementation of the Guiding Principles: their policy commitmenthuman rights due diligence (HRDD) process, reporting on human rights and their approach to access to remedy. The Benchmark does not evaluate banks’ actual financing for companies and projects with adverse human rights impacts, and results for each bank should be considered alongside the bank’s profile and record of financing ‘dodgy deals’ on the BankTrack website. This is the third iteration of this benchmark, following our first two reports in 2014 and 2016, published under the title “Banking with Principles?”.
