Pune
Built to the standard of two internationally accepted benchmarks for the design, construction and operation of
high-performance green buildings: the US Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) and WELL
certifications
Includes the largest solar power plant in the Barclays global property portfolio, reducing carbon dioxide
emissions by 80 tonnes from February 2021 to September 2021. This supports our intention to generate 10%
of our key campuses' total operational energy from on-site renewables by 2035
First of our key campuses to have a fully integrated rainwater harvesting system and two grey water
treatment plants. In 2021, 89% recycled water was used at our Pune campus
Glasgow
Our new Glasgow campus will achieve TRUE zero waste certification by 2025, which means we must divert a
minimum of 90% of solid, non-hazardous wastes from landfill, incineration (waste-to-energy) and the
environment to recycling facilities or locations where the waste can be reused
• In Glasgow, we have already partnered with Soulriders to redistribute surplus food to local charities and started
to replace single use items with reusable items and repurposed the onsite compost for landscaping needs
• We are installing a Sustainability Centre that will provide self-generated solar energy and rely on carbon-free
technology to heat and cool buildings on the Glasgow campus
We will produce our own honey and support biodiversity through a rooftop apiary filled with 60,000 honey bees
