Gender balance
Women are transforming the world and becoming a force for economic change. For example:
- Women could add USD12 trillion to the global economy in the next decade. Their wealth is growing faster than men’s.*
- Almost half (47%) express their social, political or environmental values through their investment decisions (vs 39% of men).**
Women across UBS are challenging, reinventing and innovating – and inspiring others to do the same. We're committed to gender equity in our businesses, our company and our communities.
UK Women in Finance Charter
UK Women in Finance Charter
UBS is proud to be a signatory of the UK government's Women in Finance Charter.
UBS is committed to hiring, retaining and promoting more women at all levels across the firm, and this is reflected directly in our strategic plan to "hire more, promote more and lose less" women, focusing particularly at our senior levels. In our 2015 Group Annual Report we first publically committed to increasing the ratio of women in management roles, and since then UBS continues to focus on this aspiration globally. UBS has embedded management accountability for supporting this goal and continues to develop career support, HR processes and technology solutions to help better attract, develop and retain women at all stages of their careers.
We believe passionately in creating change in the right way and this is part of a broader cultural transformation agenda at UBS. At the current rate of progress we are on track to achieve a representation of 27% senior women in the UK by December 2020.
Below are some examples of what we are doing. Additional UK initiatives are detailed in our Gender Pay Gap report (here).
