Our commitment to facilitate £100bn of green financing
Barclays continued to make progress in 2021 against our commitment to facilitate £100bn of green financing from 2018 to 2030.
We facilitated £29.8bn of green financing in 2021, up 70% from £17.6bn in 2020 and comprised of:
■ labelled, 'use of proceeds' and business mix financing in environmental categories (£22.6bn in 2021), and
■sustainability-linked financing that incorporates environmental performance targets (£7.2bn in 2021).
Since 2018, a total of £62.2bn has been facilitated across these categories, with significant momentum across our businesses,
products and geographies.
Progress against our sustainable finance commitments is subject to Limited Assurance under ISAE (UK) 3000 and ISAE 3410 by
KPMG. Please refer to the KPMG assurance statement on our ESG resource hub.
Sustainable Impact Capital Programme
The Programme has made meaningful progress towards its five-year trajectory to meet our target of investing up to £175m of
equity capital in sustainability-focused start-ups between 2020 and 2025 by building a portfolio of strategic investments which have
a focus on reducing carbon footprints and accelerating the transition towards a low-carbon economy. £54m of the £175m overall
target has been deployed since 2020, with £30m invested in 2021, up 25% from 2020. In 2022, the Programme will continue with its
commitment by deploying capital to foster innovation to support Barclays' net zero ambition.
Please provide your bank's conclusion/statement if it has fulfilled the requirements regarding Progress on Implementing Targets.
In 2021, Barclays continued to make significant progress against our sustainable finance commitments and against our aim to reduce our financed emissions as part of our ambition to be a net zero bank as outlined in our 2021
Annual Report suite.
