Committee effectiveness in 2024 The 2024 Committee effectiveness review was externally facilitated, as required by the Code. The review is an important part of the way Barclays monitors and improves Committee performance and effectiveness, maximising strengths and highlighting areas for further development. The Board appointed Christopher Saul Associates (CSA) to facilitate the review. As part of the review, CSA conducted one-on-one interviews with each member of the Committee, the Group Chief Executive and the Group Human Resources Director. CSA also observed the October 2024 Committee meeting. The results of the Committee effectiveness review confirm the Committee is operating effectively. It is considered to be well constituted and chaired, providing an effective and appropriate level of constructive challenge and oversight of the areas within its remit, including in respect of areas of judgement and discretion, with balanced contributions from participants observed in meetings. The review highlights that the Committee is considered to have the right level of skills and experience and is of an appropriate size. The Committee&#8217;s interaction with the Board, Board Committees and senior management is considered effective, noting that the Committee is well integrated into overall Board processes and the review recognised the strong level of support provided to the Committee by senior management. The Committee&#8217;s interaction with the BBPLC Board Remuneration Committee was considered effective. The report of the Board Nominations Committee provides further details on the process for conducting the 2024 Committee effectiveness review. More information on the 2024 Committee effectiveness review process can be found in the Board Nominations Committee report page 75.
