Managing indirect risks
Most of the risks we potentially pose to the environment are indirect, through projects we may be involved in funding.
We adhere to the Equator Principles – a set of international guidelines banks can use to measure the potential environmental risks posed by projects they are considering funding.
We also apply an Environmental and Social Impact Assessment Policy to any projects for which we are considering providing funds.
Managing the environmental impact of our supply chain is another important issue across the Barclays Group. We request information from our suppliers, outlining their environmental principles, and partner with them in improving both their environmental sustainability and our own.
