Grievance Redress & Integrity Reporting

A Clear, Confidential Way to Raise a Concern

Karandaaz Pakistan gives anyone affected by our financing, investments or partners' activities a direct, independent way to raise an Environmental & Social, SEAH or Ethics & Integrity concern. It's free of charge and protected against retaliation. Select a concern type below to see exactly how it's handled, including whether it can be reported anonymously.

ELIGIBILITY

Who can complain

Every complaint is screened against these criteria before it's registered for full processing. Screening is procedural — it does not prejudge the merits of a concern, and ineligible complaints are redirected wherever possible.

Eligible complainants

Anyone affected by our financing, investments or partners, or an authorised representative. Employees and Board members too, for Ethics & Integrity or SEAH.

Good faith required

An honest belief is enough — you don't need to prove it, and you're protected either way. Knowingly false reports aren't.

Not the right channel

Live procurement disputes with no integrity angle, policy disagreements, unrelated HR matters, or facts already finally decided elsewhere.

Fraud, corruption, bribery or collusion connected to a procurement process still belongs here — select Ethics & Integrity in the form.

PROCESS

The complaint process

1Acknowledge

3Review & investigate
4Decide & communicate

Once filed, Karandaaz acknowledges your complaint, checks eligibility, and routes it to the right committee for review. Screening is procedural — it doesn't judge the merits of a concern. Full timelines are set out in Public Procedures & Guidelines and Karandaaz's Grievance, Ethics, Integrity & E&S Complaint-Handling Framework; SEAH complaints follow the applicable statutory timelines.

SEAH

External SEAH route & referral to survivor services

Survivor-centred, always confidential.
  • A confidential route is open to non-employees — community members, and workers of investee companies, contractors or suppliers — separate from every other track.
  • Cases are recorded in a separate, secure sub-register.
  • At your request, we'll refer you to independent medical, psychosocial and legal support services.
