"Job creation, stimulating economic growth and investing in communities in which we work are at the core of our citizenship agenda." Bob Diamond, Chief Executive, Barclays PLC.
Adding value to the economy and society is vital for Barclays future success and, therefore, at the heart of everything we do.
Our key areas of focus are contributing to growth and supporting our communities. Underpinning these is a foundation of sound business principles and practice that ensures integrity in the way we do business.
To measure our progress, Barclays participates in a number of external indices, forums and initiatives. These include the Dow Jones Sustainability Index (we are in the top quartile among global banks), the Employers' Forum on Disability (we're a top 5 private sector company), FTSE4Good (we have been a member since its inception in 2001) and the Carbon Disclosure Project Leadership Index (we have been a responding company and signatory since its inception).
