“SGS was appointed by Barclays to verify their 2006 emissions arising from energy use and employee business travel within, from and to the UK. More information on Barclays Climate Change programme is available here  www.barclays.com/climatechange.

The SGS approach was to initially conduct a full strategic review and risk assessment in order to fully understand the reporting and calculation of emissions, and quantify the risks associated with defined emissions sources. This was followed by a detailed verification of the 2006 data and confirmation of CO2 emitted.

More information on the verification process is available from E-mail.

Barclays is a global financial services business who have been publicly reporting their environmental performance since  1999 . They are determined to reduce the carbon intensity of their operations, and have introduced a variety of measures in order to achieve this aim – including improvements in energy efficiency and buying renewable energy.”
