To this end, we will set and publish targets where we can have the most significant impacts. 2.1 Impact Analysis Show that your bank has identified the areas in which it has its most significant (potential) positive and negative impact through an impact analysis that fulfills the following elements: a) Scope: The bank's core business areas, products/ services across the main geographies that the bank operates in have been as described under 1.1. have been considered in the scope of the analysis. b) Scale of Exposure: In identifying its areas of most significant impact the bank has considered where its core business/its major activities lie in terms of industries, technologies and geographies. c) Context & Relevance: Your bank has taken into account the most relevant challenges and priorities related to sustainable development in the countries/ regions in which it operates. d) Scale and intensity/salience of impact: In identifying its areas of most significant impact, the bank has considered the scale and intensity/salience of the (potential) social, economic and environmental impacts resulting from the bank's activities and provision of products and services. (your bank should have engaged with relevant stakeholders to help inform your analysis under elements c) and d)) Show that building on this analysis, the bank has: ■ Identified and disclosed its areas of most significant (potential) positive and negative impact ■ Identified strategic business opportunities in relation to the increase of positive impacts/ reduction of negative impacts. In 2020, we conducted a pilot impact analysis using the UNEP FI Portfolio Impact Analysis Tool for Banks, which covered our UK Investment Banking portfolio. Building on our pilot impact analysis, we continued to analyse significant potential positive and negative impacts of our business in 2021. For full details of our pilot impact analysis, see the Barclays PLC ESG Report 2020. In 2021, we worked with UNEP FI, our peers and other external stakeholders to enhance the tools and methodologies available to better understand our impacts on society and the environment. We are looking to expand our impact analysis beyond our UK Investment Banking portfolio to cover other business lines and geographies using an updated version of the UNEP FI Impact Analysis Tool for Banks going forward. We will publish the findings from our updated impact analysis in next year's PRB disclosure. In addition to our impact analysis, we seek to understand and address the material ESG issues for our stakeholders, including our customers and clients, our colleagues, society and investors, by performing an annual materiality assessment*. Our materiality process includes three phases: 1. 2. 3. Research: We start by gathering data and information from a broad range of sources including customer and client questionnaires, NGO reports, investor research papers, ESG ratings agencies, relevant banking industry frameworks, colleague engagement surveys and market research. This research allows us to define which topics might be material to our business and develop a proxy ranking across external stakeholders. Engage: We then engage internal stakeholders from across the business to provide a real world view of external stakeholder priorities and to gauge the importance of topics across all of our lines of business. Prioritise: We then take these inputs and score them against a range of criteria. This data is then input into an external software provider to help produce our materiality matrix, which can be found in the GRI Content Index on the Barclays ESG resource hub. We assess the strategic relevance of ESG factors based on two criteria: their relative importance to external stakeholders, (as defined in the 'Engaging our stakeholders' section of the Barclays PLC Annual Report 2021) and their influence on our business success. This helps us to prioritise and govern our activity, ensuring that we are closely aligned with our stakeholders' expectations. We have also looked at how the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted our business and used this as a factor across multiple material topics. Based on the nature of our business, we are focusing our analysis on the following focus areas: ■ social and environmental impacts of financing including climate change, biodiversity and human rights ■ the accessibility and transparency of our financial products. *Our definition of materiality for use in sustainability and ESG reporting differs from the definition of materiality used in financial reporting. This materiality analysis does not relate to the process used for determining which information should be included in our financial reporting. Rather, it takes account of a broader range of matters relevant to climate and ESG disclosures including the published views of non-governmental organisations and non-financial ESG frameworks and reporting guidelines.
