Put your values in action

Decide if you want to:

  • Exclude companies with different values than yours
  • Integrate companies who reflect your values
  • Select investments that make an impact you can see

You don't have to choose just one way to invest sustainably. Those who already invest according to their values dedicate over a third of their portfolio to sustainable investments.1

Learn why ESG factors matter for financial performance, why it accelerated as a consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic and why we expect this trend to continue going forwards.

Other ways UBS can help you make a difference

Changing the world is about more than investing sustainably. It's about giving your time and energy to solving issues you're passionate about. For example, you can help put smiles on the faces of children worldwide through the UBS Optimus Foundation, which supports global projects focusing on young people. Our philanthropy experts can also help put your wealth and ideas to work in the best-possible way.
