Barclays | Sustainability

IMAGE: Middle Eastern ladies walking past a Barclays branch in the Middle East. TEXT:For Barclays, there are two separate but mutually dependent aspects to sustainabiliy. One is our duty as a bank to provide sound and enduring returns for our shareholders, and the best possible services for our customers. The second is our responsibility to conduct our global business ethically, and with full regard to wider social and environmental considerations. Our ambition is to develop both as a sustainable bank and a responsible global citizen.

In this section of our Sustainability Review 2007, we provide brief information about Barclays. Further details can be found elsewhere on our website or in our latest Annual Report.
