Strategic Shareholder Climate and Risk Financial Financial Barclays PLC 245 report information sustainability report Governance review review statements Annual Report 2022 Remuneration report (continued) Committee effectiveness in 2022 The 2022 Committee effectiveness review was facilitated internally in accordance with the Code. This internal review involved completion of a tailored questionnaire by Committee members and standing attendees, in line with the approach adopted for all Board Committees in 2022. The review is an important part of the way Barclays monitors and improves Committee performance and effectiveness, maximising strengths and highlighting areas for further development. The results of the review confirm the Committee is operating effectively. It is considered to be well constituted, providing an effective and appropriate level of challenge and oversight of the areas within its remit, including in respect of complex judgements. The review noted that the Committee allocates time appropriately to cover its remit effectively in meetings, with sufficient time for discussion and challenge. The review acknowledged that Committee meetings are chaired effectively, with the Chair encouraging debate through an inclusive approach. In light of Crawford Gillies having stepped down as Committee Chair in February 2021, and the role of Chair having been assumed by an existing Committee member, consideration will be given to adding an additional member of the Committee in due course. The Committee’s interaction with the Board, Board Committees and senior management is considered effective, with the review noting the strong level of support provided to the Committee by senior management. Following the consolidation of the membership of the Committee with the BBPLC Board Remuneration Committee in September 2019 (with the exception of the Committee Chair, who attends as an observer only for matters relating to BBPLC), coverage of BBPLC matters within aligned meetings is considered adequate. The Committee’s interaction with the BBPLC and BBUKPLC Board Remuneration Committees was also considered effective, and operates in line with regulatory requirements. Committee activity in 2022 The following table summarises the Committee’s activity during 2022, and at the January and February 2023 meetings at which 2022 remuneration decisions were finalised.
