We disagree with the claims made today by The Bureau of Investigative Journalism and the Rainforest Action Network’s, ‘Banking on Climate Chaos’ report, regarding our financing for the Energy sector. The Bureau of Investigative Journalism accuse Barclays of providing $41bn of sustainability-linked financing to fossil fuel companies – a figure we believe is inflated. We reported $67.8bn of green, sustainable and transition finance in 2023, less than 5% of this was sustainability-linked finance to the Energy sector – as disclosed in our annual report. Barclays is financing an Energy sector in transition – an activity requiring significant capital. While doing so, our financed emissions for the Energy and Power sectors have reduced by 44% and 26% respectively, between 2020 and 2023. Our response to both claims can be read on our website: https://lnkd.in/dnrXem83
