Giving a keynote address at the event, the bank board member Alfred Dube said Barclays has a long standing commitment to a set of pillars encapsulated in its five Cs - Company, Colleague, Customer, Citizenship and Conduct."These pillars or score card define who we are, what we stand for, and they are our roadmap because taken in totality, they help us translate our objective of being the 'Go-To' bank. They are the yardstick against which we want to be measured," said Dube.He explained the fifth C for conduct was recently added to the list.
"My understanding of conduct is that it is the behaviour of every Barclays Bank employee. It is about ethics and responsibility, respect and cooperation. It is our promise to all our stakeholders that where you go to see a Barclays employee, you will see a role model at work, at home and within the community," said Dube.
