How our sustainable financing supports the Sustainable Development Goals
Barclays recognises the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as a set of shared global priorities adopted by all United Nations
Member States in 2015 as part of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The SDGs consist of 17 interconnected Goals,
which are underpinned by 169 targets. These span positive human, societal and environmental factors, and are sought to be reached
through multilateral collaboration. We believe it is important for business, governments, society and other stakeholders to work
together to successfully achieve the 2030 Agenda. Barclays is pleased to play its part, work in partnership with our stakeholders to
support the delivery of the SDGs.
Since 2019, we have tracked and reported our annual contribution to the SDGs, through our financing activities. An illustrative
breakdown of our social and environmental financing is provided below. Our financing covers supranational and regional development
agencies, as well as businesses making positive social and environmental contributions. It generates positive social and
environmental impact through financing of healthcare systems, universities, social housing, green infrastructure projects,
sustainable food and agriculture, sustainable water and renewable energy. Financing of these activities in turn supports progress
towards achieving the SDGS.
For a full list of eligible social and environmental activities see the Barclays Sustainable Finance Framework (Framework), which sets
out our methodology for tracking progress against our sustainable finance commitments. The Framework shows how eligible social
and environmental activities contribute to individual SDGs, supported through an analysis of underlying SDG targets. As we evolve
our understanding of how our financing contributes to the SDGS, we will refine our methodology accordingly.
