Reporting and self-assessment requirements

remuneration structures and performance
management and leadership communication,
amongst others.
5.3 Governance Structure for Implementation of the
Principles

place for the implementation of the PRB, including:

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.
