"we will seek to exit the relationship"
p.6 Barclays state that they will cancel contracts with clients or customers who have contravened their human rights policies. It is, however, not clear what their policy towards suppliers is (see p.4 Supply Chain).
"We prefer to engage with and support our clients in establishing responsible business practices that respect human rights. However, in cases where clients are unable or unwilling to comply with our requirements or agree to an action plan to address the issues, we will seek to exit the relationship."
p.5
"Barclays Financial Intelligence Unit has partnered with law enforcement agencies to developed specific account and behavioural typologies to track and identify potential suspicious activity of clients and customers. Last year, this work focused on identifying account activities that could be linked to sexual exploitation and human trafficking, which has led to around 427 customer accounts being exited and details passed to local law enforcement since the work was initiated in 2017."
"Whilst this project is still in its early stages, we have already exited eleven customer accounts that were identified as exhibiting suspicious activities. We are now working to develop a monthly report that will identify those customers and accounts whose activity indicates possible labour exploitation in the construction industry."
