Accountability
Grievances

Ecobank has a Grievance Procedure in place that "allows the public to make enquiries or express concerns related to the bank’s environmental and social policy and/or projects that it finances". The procedure can be accessed here.

This page evaluates Ecobank'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".
