The Environment

It is the aim of this Policy that in all our business dealings we act in an environmentally responsible manner.

We annually report on our environmental performance and on future priorities. This includes key performance indicators based on international reporting standards.

In accordance with UBS's environmental policy, our environmental management system ensures a process of continual improvement as well as compliance with legal regulations and voluntary commitments.

We help clients consider environmental aspects by providing relevant research, advisory services and product offerings.

We seek to consider environmental risks in all our businesses, especially in lending, investment banking, advisory and research, and in our own investments.

We actively seek ways to reduce our direct environmental impact on air, soil and water from in-house operations, with a primary focus on reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

We integrate environmental considerations into internal communications and training.
