It excludes costs such as regulatory fines or charges, exchange fees, taxation, employee expenses or litigation costs, and property rent Following from the CDP response, we directly engaged with over 150 TPSPs, these represent approximately 61% of Barclays' 2024 supply chain emissions. As part of the engagements, we outlined our climate expectations, discussed their progress towards GHG emissions reductions, and learned about their future plans. We also emphasised the need to increase provision of primary emissions data. Enhancing our supply chain engagements Supply chain emissions by procurement category In 2024, we began to develop a systematic approach to prioritise our supply chain engagements. We conducted a pilot focusing on the technology category, as it is the biggest contributor to our supply chain emissions, representing 43% of these emissions in 2024, therefore a category that will be prioritised for business and TPSP engagements. From this category we selected 25 TPSPs undergoing contract negotiations, where we engaged both the business owners of those contracts and the TPSPs to evaluate and discuss opportunities to reduce the TPSP's GHG emissions and improve their climate-related data.
