UBS received global ISO 14001 certificate for its banking business as well as for its in-house operations in Switzerland in 1999.
The bank expanded its environmental management system to in-house operations in Europe, North America and Asia Pacific.
In 2002, 2005 and 2008 UBS successfully passed the ISO 14001 re-certification audit. It was performed by SGS Société Générale de Surveillance SA and now covers banking activities and in-house operations worldwide.
With the ISO 14001 award, an independent certification body confirms that the requirements of this standard have been met.
A certificate attests that the environmental management system is an appropriate tool for complying with the relevant environmental regulations, achieving self-defined environmental objectives and maintaining continual improvement of environmental performance. It does not, however, permit any statement on the absolute corporate environmental performance. Assessment of this is only possible if it is revealed by the company in an environmental report.
ISO 14000 requires that the system be annually audited and re-certified every 3 years.
UBS's Environmental Policy is most effectively implemented through a professional environmental management system. UBS has further increased the system's efficiency by structuring it according to the ISO 14001 standard and by integrating it into business processes.
