UBS Group AG, the world’s leading global wealth manager, has joined the Climate Bonds Partners Programme.
UBS provides a wide range of sustainable investment solutions to both private and institutional investors. This year it became the first bank to offer a 100% sustainable cross asset portfolio to private clients, including green bonds alongside other debt and equity instruments.
As part of its unique sustainable and impact investing offering, UBS has focused on filling gaps in the sustainable fixed income market. Its new sustainable portfolio offered private clients diversified exposure to development bank debt for the first time within a cross-asset framework, while its new development bank bond indices, in partnership with Solactive, are designed to help institutional investors and others access the asset class.
UBS’s partnership with the Climate Bonds Initiative will further develop its data capabilities and market-building efforts within green finance and sustainable fixed income and will add diversity and expertise to CBI’s Partners Network.
Mark Haefele, Chief Investment Officer, UBS Global Wealth Management:
“Partnering with the Climate Bonds Initiative is a natural extension of our commitment to sustainable investing. We are excited to be joining market-building initiatives in green bonds and other areas and helping to create a common framework for the sustainable fixed income market.”
Proud to announce our new partnership with the @ClimateBonds – a natural extension of our commitment to #SustainableInvesting. Read more on our joint project: https://t.co/gygAGas2kz #ClimateBondsInitiative #shareUBS

We are looking forward to working together to expand green bond markets globally and reinforcing market best practice and green integrity – areas all closely connected to UBS’s sustainable and impact investing objectives.”
