Environmental Organization

The Group Executive Board nominates a Group Environmental Representative to guide the environmental strategy.

Environmental Management Cycle

Our Management Cycle is based on the methodology known as Plan-Do-Check-Act.

In May 1999, UBS received certification according to the ISO 14001 environmental standard. This made UBS the first financial institution in the world to have its environmental management system in banking operations certified according to ISO 14001 on a worldwide basis.

In 2002, 2005 and 2008, UBS successfully passed the ISO 14001 re-certification audits. They were performed by SGS Société Générale de Surveillance SA and now cover banking activities and in-house operations worldwide.
