Unreasonable Impact
Through its Unreasonable Impact programme, a partnership between Barclays and Unreasonable Group, Barclays is supporting high-growth entrepreneurs with the network and resources they need to seek to address pressing social and environmental challenges.
With billions in financing already raised by the companies that have participated in the programme, the partnership’s momentum continues to grow – and the ventures are driving innovations in a variety of industries from food and agriculture to energy and manufacturing.
