At UBS, we believe that a workforce of individuals from widely different backgrounds, cultures and life experiences is indispensable in today’s global business environment. Gender, ethnic and age Diversity allows for first-hand understanding of regional markets and sensitivity to local customs. But it is not just the visible differences that allow for this competitive advantage. It is also the more subtle Diversity—of background, experience and thought—that provides the perspective from which our employees anticipate needs and generate unique solutions for our increasingly diverse client base worldwide.

"Over the last six years, we’ve all contributed to a positive, long-term culture change. We’ve established a more open environment that better fosters flexibility and allows people to succeed in their own way. This is a tribute to all of us, and we can all take pride in the recognition UBS receives."

Alex Wilmot-Sitwell, Co-Chief Executive Officer, UBS Investment Bank;
Chair, UK Regional Diversity Board

Achieving this world-class workforce of diverse, high-talent individuals demands an openminded and respectful working culture, merit-based career advancement, and a sense of individual contribution and self-worth. UBS has made great strides in all these arenas. Yet, more remains to be done before Diversity becomes truly self-sustaining and fully integrated into all aspects of our business.

Continually working to achieve a diverse, inclusive environment is a commitment to which we adhere with unwavering determination.

Diversity is key to UBS’s success.

UBS defines Diversity across a continuum ranging from the more visible aspects of Diversity, like gender and ethnicity, to the less visible aspects, like function and thought.
