The carbon reporting year is not fully aligned to the financial reporting year covered by this Directors’ Report. Details of our approach to assurance over the data is set out in the 2022 Barclays Strategic Report. b The methodology used to calculate our GHG emissions follows the 'Greenhouse Gas Protocol (GHG): A Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard (Revised Edition)', defined by the World Resources Institute/World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WRI/WBCSD). We have adopted the operational control approach to define our reporting boundary. Emissions from leased buildings where Barclays do not manage the utility are excluded. Where Barclays is responsible for the utility costs, these emissions are included. Estimating the GHG emissions of working from home is a new activity with little or no precedent and with no common standard which is why we have not yet included it in our annual GHG inventory. We are evaluating different methodologies to estimate our remote working emissions moving forward. For 2022, we have applied the latest emission factors as of 31st December 2022. We continuously review and update our performance data based on updated GHG emission factors, improvements in data quality and updates to estimates previously applied. In 2022 prior year figures have been restated to reflect additional Scope 1 natural gas data that is now available for two large corporate offices. The restatement has been applied to all prior years to 2018. In addition, there is additional Scope 1 fuel data available for three locations globally that were not reported in prior years. We have also replaced estimated Scope 2 electricity data for select locations in the US with actual billing from utility providers that was not available at the time of reporting. Finally, corrections to Scope 2 electricity data in Switzerland and Netherlands have taken place due to incorrect meter reads. c Scope 1 emissions include our direct GHG emissions from natural gas, fuel oil, company cars and HFC refrigerants. In the case of company-owned vehicles, emissions are limited to UK vehicles only as this is the only country in which data is available. d Scope 2 GHG emissions include our direct GHG emissions from purchased electricity, purchased heat, cooling and steam . Market-based emissions have been reported for 2022 and 2021. We have used a zero emission factor where we have green tariffs or energy attribute certificates in place globally. e Scope 3 covers indirect emissions from business travel only. Business travel for these purposes compromises of: global flights and ground transport within the UK, US and India, however, in the case of the US and India ground transport covers onwards car hire only which has been provided directly by the supplier. Ground transportation data (excluding Scope 1 emissions from company-owned vehicles) covers only countries where robust data is available directly from the supplier. f Intensity ratio calculations have been calculated using location-based emission factors only. g Energy consumption data is captured through utility billing; meter reads or estimates. Principal measures we have undertaken in 2022 to improve energy efficiency include the following: • We have reduced our operational energy consumption by 30% against a 2018 baseline. At the end of 2021, we launched an Energy Optimisation Programme to help improve the energy efficiency of our global property portfolio. In the first 12 months of our five-year programme we saved 6GWh of energy, equivalent to the annual electricity consumption of approximately 2,000 UK households. • We have also focused on our own data centres, which consume a large amount of energy to operate. For example, we upgraded our cooling systems at our Cranford, New Jersey data centre, In just four months this upgrade led to an approximately 19% energy reduction for cooling alone, in comparison to the same period in 2021. We will continue to make investments in technology and systems to reduce the amount of energy we need to power our operations. Please refer to our Achieving net zero operations pillar for more details on our strategy. Δ 2022 data subject to independent Limited Assurance under ISAE(UK)3000 and ISAE3410.
