Principle 3: Clients and Customers
We will work responsibly with our clients and our customers to encourage sustainable practices and enable economic activities that create shared prosperity for current and future generations.
3.1 Provide an overview of the policies and practices
your bank has in place and/or is planning to put
in place to promote responsible relationships
with its customers. This should include high-level
information on any programmes and actions
implemented (and/or planned), their scale and,
where possible, the results thereof.
3.2 Describe how your bank has worked with and/or
is planning to work with its clients and customers
to encourage sustainable practices and enable
sustainable economic activities. This should include
information on actions planned/implemented,
products and services developed, and, where
possible, the impacts achieved.
We believe that transparency of information in our products and services is key to empowering consumers to make good financial
decisions. Our aim at Barclays is to offer an accessible, empathetic and inclusive service for our customers, including for those who
may typically face barriers to accessing banking services, such as customers living with disabilities, complex needs or experiencing
difficult life events. We have made significant progress, but we know there is more to do.
The 'Environmental Social Governance disclosures' section in the Barclays PLC Annual Report 2021 provides an update on key topics
which underpin our efforts to promote responsible relationships with our customers, including through Barclays' culture and conduct,
and in relation to managing environmental and social impacts in lending and financing. The 'Responsible and inclusive banking'
sub-section covers some of the ways that we seek to promote responsible and inclusive banking and increase accessibility, including
through helping customers to use our platforms via the Digital Eagles, supporting customers to save money through budgeting via
our Barclays Money Mentors and how we seek to support to customers impacted by gambling, domestic abuse, economic
difficulties, homelessness, cancer diagnosis and, bereavement.
An update of how we seek to ensure the accessibility and responsibility of retail products is set out in the 'Accessible retail products
and services' section of the Barclays PLC Annual Report 2021. It includes details of financial products and services available to
individuals not eligible for standard banking offering, efforts to improve digital accessibility and safeguard customers against fraud.
Barclays is providing the green and sustainable finance required to transform the economies we serve. We are directing investment,
including our own capital, into new green technologies and infrastructure projects that will build up low-carbon energy capability.
We are also using our advisory, product sets and financial expertise to help our customers and clients realise their own transitions.
We are expanding our sustainable finance offering through both specialist banking teams as well as the integration of sustainability
frameworks and principles across our wider service offering. The 'Developing and deploying finance solutions' section in the
Barclays PLC Annual Report 2021 sets out the suite of green and sustainable products offered by Barclays, including updates and
developments in 2021. The products span financing activities in corporate and investment banking, retail banking, private banking
and wealth management and investment.
The Barclays Sustainable Finance Framework sets out the product scope and accounting basis for our sustainable finance
commitments.
The 'Strategy' section in the Barclays PLC Climate-related Financial Disclosures 2021 sets out how we engage with clients as they
transition to a low-carbon economy, using our advisory and financial expertise to help them navigate this period of extraordinary
change.
