Bonds issued under the UBS Green Funding Framework

Sustainability is integrated into the way UBS conducts business and with our wide range of sustainable product offerings, we aim to help our clients and investors to meet their sustainability ambitions. Raising Green funding is a natural next step for UBS to connect our sustainability objectives with access to the financial markets.

UBS has designed a Green Funding Framework consistent with the ICMA Green Bond Principles (2021). UBS has obtained an independent Second-Party Opinion from Sustainalytics and has received certification from the Climate Bond Initiative on the Green Funding Framework and Eligible Assets within.
