Outcomes financing – We established collaborations with OutcomesX and Common Good Marketplace to scale outcomes-based financing for the Ukraine Relief Fund and the Human Family Fund, respectively, and help create a market for social impact.
– We concluded the Quality Education India (QEI) Development Impact Bond, where outcomes financing achieved strong learning results in mathematics and language for over 200,000 children across four states in India – children in QEI schools learned two and a half times more than those in non-participating schools.
– We established a partnership with Leapfrog to Value to test models for insurance schemes to pay for healthcare outcomes for mothers and newborns.
Donor-advised funds These funds offer clients an easy, flexible and efficient alternative to setting up their own foundation and can be managed in line with their usual investment approach. Their charitable donations can be invested within the parameters they select, such as capital, growth or income, so they can grow their fund to give grants at a later date. UBS offers these services in Switzerland, Singapore and the UK, with USD 249 million in donations in 2022.2.
UBS Global Visionaries To further grow our environmental and social impact, we see an opportunity to connect people, to bridge the gap between incubation, acceleration and impact investments, supported by a strong ecosystem and partnership approach. One way we are doing this is through our UBS Global Visionaries program, where we aim to (i) create opportunities for clients and prospective clients to connect with leading social entrepreneurs and (ii) help the best entrepreneurs focusing on social and environmental issues to scale their positive change by expanding their network, building capacity and raising awareness about their work. Since the program started in 2016, we have onboarded and supported 68 entrepreneurs to accelerate their impact.
A third-party impact evaluation conducted in 2022 found that 88% of UBS Global Visionaries and alumni said the program had a positive influence on expanding their networks, with 68% creating partnerships from it, 64% agreed that we increased awareness of critical global issues and their solutions, 51% mentioned that the program helped them build skills valuable to delivering their mission, and 48% felt that the program influenced their fundraising efforts. We have also started to evaluate how we can maximize the role of the program in terms of the Global Visionaries’ impact on the SDGs. In 2022, 27% recognized this benefit.3.
Community Impact.
Our Community Impact program aims to maximize our impact in local communities.
We have a strategic focus on education and the development of skills as we believe these are topics where our resources can make the most impact. We believe our long-term investment in these areas are central to furthering the economic and social inclusion of those we support through our activities.
With our Community Impact program, we focus on supporting young people and adults to learn and develop skills that will further their economic and social inclusion through strategic financial support and employee volunteering. In 2022, we reached 370,916 young people and adults in line with our strategy, with the aim of supporting 1.5 million young people and adults by the end of 2025.
Employee volunteering Our well-established employee volunteering model has been adapted to meet the needs of our new hybrid ways of working, with both face-to-face and virtual opportunities to support our local communities. We set global targets for employee engagement through volunteering, which are built bottom-up and on a best-efforts basis. In 2022, we successfully engaged 34% of our global workforce in volunteering, and 45% of the 177,000 volunteer hours were skills based.

Respecting human rights.
We are committed to respecting and promoting human rights, as set out in the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights. As human rights standards are embedded in the SDGs, respecting human rights is a key consideration in our business practices. When assessing UBS’s potential human rights impacts, we focus on three key stakeholder groups (employees, clients and vendors), as well as society at large.
Employees: We are committed to respecting human rights standards through our human resources policies and practices. We review these policies and practices on a regular basis, with the goal of ensuring that human rights and labor rights continue to be respected. We are committed to meeting the obligations that a responsible company is required to comply with. › Refer to the “People and culture make the difference” section above and to “Appendix 2 – Governance” section of this report for more details about UBS’s human resources policies and practices.
Clients: We provide them with innovative investment solutions in themes related to human rights, such as health, education, gender and/or equality, in addition to taking human rights risks into account in solutions that address a broader range of sustainability issues. We identify and manage actual and potential adverse impacts to human rights that our clients’ assets and our own assets are exposed to. We aim to identify, prevent and mitigate actual and potential contributions to human rights abuses. › Refer to the “Strategy” section of this report for more details about our approach to sustainable finance and investing and to “Appendix 2 – Governance” section of this report for the sustainability (including human rights) and climate risk policy framework.
Vendors: We are committed to reducing the negative social effects of the goods and services UBS purchases. To do so we identify high-risk vendors when establishing new contracts or renewals, based on the vendors’ provision of goods and services that have either a substantial social impact or are sourced in markets with potentially high social risks. Vendors associated with actual and potential human rights risks that do not meet the minimum applicable standards have to agree and comply with a remediation plan before signing a contract with UBS. › Refer to the “Managing our supply chain responsibly” section below for more details about our responsible supply chain management.
Our human-rights-related commitments and actions are set out in our Human Rights Statement. The statement shows the structures (governance and policies) and mechanisms (procedures and processes) UBS has in place to support its commitment. UBS also publishes a Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement pursuant to the UK Modern Slavery Act 2015 and to the Australian Modern Slavery Act 2018. › Refer to ubs.com/gri for both our Human Rights Statement and our Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement 73

Managing our supply chain responsibly.
We embed environmental, social and governance (ESG) standards into our sourcing and procurement activities. Our firm-wide Responsible Supply Chain Management (RSCM) framework is based on identifying, assessing and monitoring vendor practices in the areas of human and labor rights, the environment, health and safety and anticorruption. Central to our RSCM framework are our Responsible Supply Chain Standards (RSCS), to which our direct vendors are bound by contract. The RSCS define our expectations toward vendors and their subcontractors regarding legal compliance, environmental protection, avoidance of child and forced labor, non-discrimination, diversity, equity and inclusion, remuneration, hours of work, freedom of association, humane treatment, health and safety, anti-corruption measures, and whistleblowing protection for employees.
In 2022, we revised our RSCS and raised the bar for ourselves and our suppliers.
› Refer to our RSCS, available at ubs.com/suppliers.
Identifying, assessing and monitoring high-impact vendors.
We identify high-impact vendors when establishing new contracts or renewals based on the vendors’ provision of goods and services that could have either a substantial environmental and social impact or are sourced in markets with potentially high social or governance risks. Such high-impact vendors are assessed against our RSCS. These vendors are requested to provide disclosures about their management practices and corresponding evidence, which is evaluated by a specialized team. Actual and potential negative impacts that are considered in the impact assessment of purchased goods and services include, but are not limited to, the following: – adverse environmental impacts due to inefficient use of resources (e.g., water, energy and biomass) and emissions during the life cycle of the product; – hazardous substances, emissions, pollutants and limited recyclability of products, adversely affecting people and the environment; – unfair employment practices, such as low wages, excessive overtime and the absence of occupational health and safety measures; and – insufficient management of subcontractors regarding sustainability aspects.
If our assessment reveals any non-compliance with our standards, UBS defines and agrees, together with the vendor, specific improvement measures and we closely monitor implementation progress of these remediation actions. Lack of improvement may lead to the termination of the vendor relationship. Vendors are reassessed after 24 months to ensure that even in long-term contracts UBS’s expectations regarding environmental and social aspects are met and supervised continuously. We also regularly screen active vendors as part of our environmental and social risk control processes.

Sustainability Report 2022 \| Social 75.
In 2022, no UBS vendor relationship was terminated as a result of RSCM assessments. This results partly from the fact that we assess each vendor’s potential risks before entering into a contract with them.
Embedding supplier sustainability in our everyday activities.
The goods and services we buy, how we buy them and from where and whom are all crucial elements of our sustainability impact. We are committed to making a positive environmental and social impact, and we expect the same from our suppliers. We have included weighting for ESG criteria in our tenders, as part of vendor evaluation and selection. This ensures that we award business to vendors with strong ESG performance and incentivize vendors who want to work with us to show commitment and improvement in these areas.
We have also been reviewing our purchasing catalogues to move to sustainable products wherever possible. This year, each item in our internal office supplies catalogues has been reviewed for its impact on the environment, including, but not limited to, the composition and recyclability of the product’s materials. We have also checked for eco-friendly certifications and sustainable sourcing of material, as relevant, and achieved 75% sustainability on these catalogues.
Our UBS Supplier Code of Conduct details ethical and professional standards that our suppliers must follow when conducting business and engaging with us. We expect our suppliers to uphold high standards of ethics, carefully mitigate risks, and honor global and local labor laws, human rights and environmental responsibilities. › Refer to our “Supplier Code of Conduct,” available at ubs.com/suppliers › Refer to the “Monitoring the environmental impact of our supply chain” section of this report on the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in our supply chain.

Inclusive growth.
Over the years at UBS, we have worked hard to show that both return-seeking and philanthropic capital can make tangible differences to issues such as education and health, decarbonization and nature. We believe that imaginative, transformative financial solutions are needed to build successful, inclusive and sustainable economies.
Strengthening our people pillar.
The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (the OECD) defines inclusive growth as “economic growth that is distributed fairly across society and creates opportunities for all.” This covers many dimensions, including financial inclusion, health, education, diversity, equity and inclusion (DE&I), employment and decent working opportunities.
Tackling societal challenges requires inclusion, economic growth and sustainability. Each factor is interlinked and should not be viewed as a trade-off.1 Increasing regulation, stakeholder scrutiny and the clear benefits of DE&I mean it is important for businesses to consider the part that they can play in creating a more equitable and inclusive society, driving economic opportunities for all.
