Director training and development The Committee and the Group Company Secretary support the Group Chairman in developing and monitoring effective induction, training and development for the Board in accordance with the Committee&#8217;s Terms of Reference. Directors are provided with the opportunity to take part in ongoing training and development as part of the Board or Board Committee schedule, but can also request specific training as required. All Directors receive a comprehensive induction tailored to their individual requirements on appointment, designed to provide them with an understanding of the operation of the Group, its purpose and strategy and key business areas and functions. When a Director is joining a Board Committee, their induction schedule will also include an induction to the operation of that Committee. During 2024, Directors continued to deepen their understanding of the business through Board deep dives, covering the five operating divisions as well as updates from key Group functions including Legal, Risk, Compliance and Internal Audit. In addition, the Board continued to receive regular updates on developments in corporate governance matters and an annual briefing on the Senior Managers Regime and certain Barclays Compliance Risk policies and standards, including concerning financial crime. See below for further detail on some key areas of training and development provided to Directors in 2024. Climate and sustainability &#8211; external reporting landscape In the context
