Managing our environmental impact

Through the Barclays Climate Action Programme we’re focusing on:

  • Managing our own carbon footprint and reducing our absolute carbon emissions
  • Developing products and services to help enable the transition to a low-carbon economy
  • Managing the climate change risks of our operations, and those of our clients.

Carbon offsetting

Our commitment to carbon neutral banking operations focuses primarily on minimising our direct impact on the environment through our Group-wide environmental management systems. In addition, we offset the emissions remaining through the purchase of carbon credits.
