Our Mindset
The power of who we are is greatest when we are bound together by a common Purpose, shared Values – and a single Mindset, which shapes how we get things done, always with our customers and clients at the heart of what we do.
The Barclays Way
This is the spirit of Barclays. It’s why we exist, what we believe and how we behave. But most importantly, it’s how we make decisions, take action and get things done.
Purpose
Our role in society is defined in our Purpose. It provides a clear expression of why what we do matters, and our drive to deliver for our customers, clients and communities.
Our new purpose is:
Working together for a better financial future.
Values
If our Purpose is why we exist, our five Values are our moral compass: they are the fundamentals of who we are, and what we believe is right.
Respect
We harness the power of inclusion and opportunity in our business, trust those we work with, and value everyone’s contribution.
Integrity
We operate with honesty, courage, transparency and fairness in all we do.
Service
We act with empathy and humility, putting the people and businesses we serve at the centre of what we do.
Excellence
We set high standards for what we do, championing innovation and using our energy, expertise and resources to make a positive difference.
Stewardship
We are passionate about leaving things better than we found them.

Question whether things can be improved, simplified and/or automated. Be curious and ambitious; challenge the status quo. Speak up and listen up. Be open to alternative viewpoints. Use insights based on data to inform decisions. Deeply understand client and customer needs to develop long term relationships.
Act like an owner. Take personal responsibility and accountability. Operate with precision to deliver high quality work efficiently. Manage risks proactively. Champion change and actively support transformation. Be prepared to adapt. Collaborate across Barclays to get things done. Focus on outcomes that deliver sustainable value to our clients, customers, shareholders and communities.
Trust, support and inspire each other to deliver. Promote a culture of inclusion and leverage diverse perspectives. Celebrate success. Learn from failure and use it to continuously improve. Know what decisions you can take and make them. Address issues or problems you encounter, and raise those outside your remit.
