Environment
For Barclays. managing the environment means managing direct and indirect environmental impacts, which includes Barclays energy, water and waste footprints and our financing activities, as well as addressing the risks and opportunities associated with climate change.
Managing environmental and social risks
The majority of the environmental and social risks associated with our business are indirect. These impacts arise through business relationships, including those with our clients through our financing activities.
Partnerships for a low carbon economy
Building partnerships that improve incomes and communities, while simultaneously helping to address the challenges of climate change and environmental degradation.
Direct environmental impacts
As a global corporate citizen, we regard it as our responsibility to manage and reduce our direct impact on the environment.
Commercial opportunities
We have been developing commercially viable environmental propositions across different business units and regions.
Responsible global citizenship
Asset management policies
Barclays engages with companies on social and environmental issues, where appropriate and consistent with our engagement and voting guidelines, through a variety of channels.
