Global trends to watch in 2022

ESG Yearbook 2022 produced by Responsible Investor, sponsored by UBS

Trends

As 2022 gets underway, UBS is delighted to sponsor the Responsible Investor ESG Yearbook, which explores just some of the key themes which we believe will be front and centre in shaping the sustainable finance landscape in the coming year. The past few years have seen sustainability move front and center, with the financial community having an unparalleled opportunity to not only contribute towards, but also drive the transition to a more sustainable world. With all eyes on the race to net zero, Responsible Investor explores the progress being made across EMEA, APAC and the US, and asks where next from here?

Featuring interviews with sustainability experts from across UBS, the ESG Yearbook explores some of the critical sustainability topics likely to come to the fore in 2022.
