LGBTQIA+ Pride at Barclays

We aim to champion equality, understanding and respect for colleagues, customers and clients across sexuality and gender identity. We want every one of our colleagues to feel comfortable being themselves at work and encourage a range of activities and initiatives that help people connect.

Spectrum is our employee resource group open to all colleagues regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity. It is active in many of our offices around the world, running events throughout the year, and supporting colleagues who identify as LGBTQ+ and who also want to support as Spectrum Allies. Our allies support by challenging homophobia, biphobia and transphobia, and by educating others on the importance of equality.

We are proud to be a supporter of the broader LGBTQ+ community, evidenced by our sponsorship of Pride celebrations in cities across the world for many years, and in our continued strong performances in external benchmarks such as the Stonewall UK Top 30 Equality Index for the seventh successive year.
