External commitments

UBS has endorsed and signed several international charters.

UN Global Compact

In 2000, UBS became one of the first companies to sign the United Nations (UN) Global Compact. This global corporate responsibility initiative unites governments, business, labor organizations and civil society, fostering adherence to 10 principles covering the areas of human rights, labor standards, the environment and anti-corruption.

UNEP Finance Initiative

In 1992, we were one of the first signatories to the United Nations Environment Program's Bank Declaration.

Wolfsberg Group - preventing money laundering

We remain strongly committed to promoting stringent anti-money laundering standards for the financial industry as a whole. As a prime example of this, UBS was one of the driving forces behind the launch of the Wolfsberg Group and its issuance of global anti-money laundering principles in 2000.

UBS Global Asset Management is an Investment Manager signatory to the UN Principles for Responsible Investment (UNPRI).
