Principle 1 Principle 2 Principles for Responsible Banking continued Principle 3 Principle 4 Principle 5 Principle 6 Reporting and self-assessment requirements 5.2 Describe the initiatives and measures your bank has implemented or is planning to implement to foster a culture of responsible banking among its employees. This should include a high-level overview of capacity building, inclusion in remuneration structures and performance management and leadership communication, amongst others. 5.3 Governance Structure for Implementation of the Principles Show that your bank has a governance structure in place for the implementation of the PRB, including: a) target-setting and actions to achieve targets set b) remedial action in the event of targets or milestones not being achieved or unexpected negative impacts being detected. High-level summary of bank's response (limited assurance required for responses to highlighted items) Details of our approach to fostering a culture of responsible banking are found in the 'Environmental Social Governance disclosures' section of the Barclays PLC Annual Report 2021. See in particular, the sections about 'The Barclays Way' on page 80 and 'Conduct' on pages 81-87. For leadership communication on responsible banking and ESG, see the 'Chairman's introduction' and the 'Chief Executive's introduction and market overview' in the Barclays PLC Strategic Report 2021. The Barclays Climate Risk team provides training to banking and credit risk teams to raise awareness of the environmental credit risks in particular sectors and highlight their responsibilities in identifying these risks. In 2021, training was provided to 160 colleagues. We are also looking to expand the opportunity for our training in wider teams across the Group to further the awareness. In addition to climate risk becoming a Principal Risk, mandatory training for the Group will be introduced in 2022. Non-financial performance metrics are incorporated within management remuneration structures as set out in the 'Remuneration report' section of the Barclays PLC Annual Report 2021. Executive Director bonus and Long Term Incentive Plan (LTIP) outcomes are assessed against a framework of measures, set by the Remuneration Committee. A proportion of both bonus and LTIP is driven by non-financial performance measures, including measures relating to climate. For the 2022 bonus and 2022-24 LTIP awards, 10% of the overall outcome for each will be determined by performance against Climate and sustainability measures, reflecting our ambition to be net zero by 2050, including our commitment to align our financing with the goals of the Paris Climate Agreement. The LTIP also includes measures relating to customers and clients, colleagues and society. The Barclays PLC Fair Pay Report 2021 sets out more detail about how we reward sustainable performance. The governance structure set out under 5.1 above covers sustainability and ESG matters including target-setting and actions to achieve these targets. This includes the targets addressing our significant impact areas as identified through our impact analysis described above. Please provide your bank's conclusion/statement if it has fulfilled the requirements regarding Governance Structure for Implementation of the Principles. Barclays' governance structures described above cover social and environmental matters, including climate-related risks and opportunities.
