The World Bank (WB) supports the global reporting initiative (GRI) and is one of the GRI chapter groups of founding members. The topics deemed relevant for disclosure were identified by assessing annual corporate priorities outlined by the institutions' Boards and President, considering stakeholder input, as well as ascertaining sustainability impacts of carrying out the mission and vision. To determine if a GRI aspect is material for the WB to report on, an assessment was carried out based on: (1) the potential impact on the Bank's business, and (2) the sustainability impacts stemming from its business. The most material aspects of the Bank's internal operations include the following: staffs are the Bank's greatest asset
and reducing the Bank's own corporate environmental impacts. The WB reports on a fiscal year basis, which extends from July 1 through June 30. This report covers fiscal 2014 (July 1, 2013 - June 30, 2014).
