UBS Financial Services Inc.'s reported carbon emissions

Inherited from UBS Group AG

UBS Financial Services Inc., headquartered in the US, 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-related initiatives and commitments. While UBS Financial Services Inc. has not set specific reduction targets or disclosed emissions data, it is important to note that it inherits climate commitments and performance metrics 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 fourth-level corporate relationship. As part of its broader corporate strategy, UBS Group AG has made significant commitments to sustainability and climate action, which may reflect on UBS Financial Services Inc.'s operational practices. However, without specific emissions data or reduction targets from UBS Financial Services Inc. itself, a detailed assessment of its carbon footprint and climate commitments remains unavailable.
