Grievances

BNP Paribas Fortis does not operate a complaints or grievances channel for individuals or communities that might have been affected by the bank's finance.

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".
