The Industrial Bank was founded in 1988 and was one of the first batch of joint-stock commercial banks approved by the State Council and the People's Bank of China. The Industrial Bank is considered to be one of the early movers in sustainable finance in China. It was also the first Chinese bank to sign the Equator Principles.

EPN assessment of policies against 14 minimum criteria - Industrial Bank

Environmental Paper Network (EPN) evaluated the policies of 68 major financiers of the pulp and paper industry against 14 absolute minimum criteria that all financial institutions should require their clients, investments and business partners to respect in order to reduce social and environmental risks.

Accountability
Grievances

Industrial Bank does not operate a complaints or grievances channel for individuals or communities that might have been affected by the bank's financing.

This page evaluates Industrial Bank'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".
