UBS Asset Management AG's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from UBS Group AG

UBS Asset Management AG, headquartered in Switzerland (CH), currently does not report specific carbon emissions data for the most recent year, as indicated by the absence of emissions figures. The organisation is a current subsidiary of UBS Group AG, which may influence its climate commitments and reporting practices. While UBS Asset Management AG has not outlined specific reduction targets or initiatives, it is important to note that it inherits climate-related commitments from its parent company, UBS Group AG. This includes participation in initiatives such as the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) and RE100, both of which are cascaded from UBS Group AG at a level 2 relationship. These initiatives typically focus on transparency in emissions reporting and a commitment to renewable energy, respectively. As of now, UBS Asset Management AG has not specified any Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) reduction targets or other significant climate pledges. The lack of detailed emissions data and reduction initiatives suggests that the firm may still be in the process of developing its specific climate strategy within the broader framework established by UBS Group AG.
