Our approach
Our sustainability strategy revolves around responsible banking, from developing appropriate services for new customers in developing countries to providing credit based on people's ability to repay and investing in the communities where we operate.
For Barclays, responsible banking is about how we meet the broader needs of all our stakeholders. We believe we cannot, and should not, separate our sustainability activity from our daily business.
We're focusing on responsible banking through three key pillars:
- Responsible finance
- Citizenship
- Financing the future.
Sustainability governance
Barclays Group Executive Committee, comprising senior leaders from across the global business, is responsible for implementing our sustainability strategy.
Stakeholder engagement
We know that we don't have all the answers. Listening, learning, responding and working in partnership with our stakeholders is important to the way we do business.
Awards
We have won a range of awards for our sustainability achievements.
Policy positions
Across the Barclays Group, policies and statements of intent are in place to ensure consistent governance on a range of issues.
