Environmental Policy

UBS aims to act in an environmentally responsible manner in all its business dealings.

Environmental Policy

UBS's environmental policy, established in 1993, was last revised by the Group Executive Board in September 2005.

It defines principles and responsibilities for managing environmental issues, and aims to contribute over the long term to UBS shareholder value by seeking to ensure that:

  • UBS identifies and manages environmental risks;

  • UBS pursues environmentally-friendly opportunities in the financial market;

  • UBS’s environmental performance improves continuously

Primary responsibility for implementing the environmental policy lies within the business groups which develop, where appropriate, further policies and processes that are tailored to their needs.

In addition, UBS's environmental policy is further supplemented by groupwide guidelines and standards that address specific environmental issues across the firm:

  • A number of industry sectors with higher potential environmental and social risks have been identified, and UBS is developing sector guidelines for assistance and guidance when doing business with clients in these sectors.
