This April for Earth Month, over 350 UBS employees across 16 cities in the Americas took action to protect our planet by volunteering. From planting trees and participating in cleanup efforts, to creating sustainability-focused educational content and virtually mapping disaster-prone areas, UBS employees supported the work of 22 nonprofit organizations and helped make our local communities cleaner, more sustainable, and more resilient. Volunteering through our Community Corps program is a key part of our culture of service at UBS. Thank you to our colleagues who participated and made an important contribution to our communities this month and beyond. #communitycorps #volunteer #earthmonth #shareUBS

Supply chains are realigning, driven by geopolitical disruption. This presents a window of opportunity to improve their #sustainability to meet changing consumer and regulatory demands. Collaboration is key. Companies that cooperate with their #SupplyChain partners on measurement and targets are 1.7 times more likely to meet their #climate goals. Learn more about these trends—and our four pillar framework for maximizing the sustainability benefits from them—in the UBS Sustainability and Impact Institute’s report, "Chain Reaction", by Richard Mylles: http://from.ubs/6040YM0EO #shareUBS #ESG #TheInstitute

Our fellow shares her insights how does her role at UBS create impact in terms of moving #sustainability forward. “A lot of discussions around sustainability are very theoretical. Sustainability is ultimately about real-world impact. It’s not just about the functionality of the markets, the economy, and politics. It’s about improving outcomes for people and the planet.” Karianne Lancee is Head of SI Portfolio Integration at UBS Asset Management. Prior to joining UBS, she worked for Unilever’s largest pension plans on sustainable investment policies and implementation.

“In venturing to finance this film outside of the studio system, I gave myself the freedom to think about this storytelling differently,” says Ava DuVernay, Academy-Award nominated director of ORIGIN, which UBS premiered at Art Basel Miami Beach. ORIGIN was financed with donations from philanthropists and foundations to ensure this important story about the way caste animates our society was told. UBS Social Impact & Philanthropy US is the social impact partner of ORIGIN. In addition to our screening at Art Basel, the partnership also supported Seat 16, ARRAY's campaign to provide 16-year-olds across the country with learning guides and access to see the film. Watch the video below to see Ava in conversation with renowned journalist Katie Couric about ORIGIN, now available on streaming. #narrativechange #caste #socialfinance #blendedfinance #philanthropy #shareUBS

In the early 20th Century, technological innovations drastically improved global agricultural yields. The same field produced more #food over time, breaking the historical link between population growth and the expansion of agricultural land. While this improved the affordability and availability of food, and enabled unprecedented growth in the global population, systemic issues remain. Global hunger, for instance, is still prevalent today. Discover more in the UBS #Sustainability and Impact Institute’s report by William Nicolle, which analyzes the agri-food industry’s intersection with global sustainability goals, solutions to reduce its impacts, and the enabling role of finance: http://from.ubs/6045YJCvZ #shareUBS #GrowMoveEat #agriculture #nature #climate #TheInstitute
