In 2000, UBS signed the Global Compact, a UN-sponsored platform for encouraging and promoting good corporate practices and learning experiences in the areas of human rights, labour and the environment.

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

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 is a member of further organizations that promote corporate responsibility and is actively engaged in their activities.
