You can raise concerns about

Harm to people, communities or the environment from a project we fund

Activities that do not follow our Environmental and Social Policy and Exclusion List

Gender related concerns covered by our Gender Policy

Failures to follow our operational policies or our Environmental and Social Management System

Any other ethical or compliance concern about CBF or a project we support
