The Board is also responsible for the oversight of social and environmental matters, including climate-related risks and opportunities. During 2021, the Board received regular updates on Public Policy and Corporate Responsibility matters (together with Group Reputation Risk Reports) from the Group Head of Public Policy & Corporate Responsibility (PPCR). These updates covered matters such as key government and regulatory policy, regulatory engagement and ESG matters including climate. Four climate-specific updates were provided to the Board by the Group Head of PPCR and Group Head of Sustainability, covering areas such as progress on our climate strategy, policy updates, industry trends, stakeholder engagement and target-setting. In addition to these Board briefings, the Group Head of PPCR regularly engaged with the Barclays Group Chief Executive, Chairman and Non-Executive Directors on a range of matters relating to the Group's climate strategy.
