    The Corporate Responsibility section of the UBS website contains a statement from Marcel Ospel, Chairman of UBS, expressing the company''s commitment to corporate sustainability and to the Global Compact. The website also describes UBS'' commitment to integrate environmental considerations into all business activities. It provides the company''s Environmental Policy and a list of Environmental Reports from 1998 to 2003. The website also describes UBS'' investment in the communities surrounding its operations throughout the world - Americas, Asia Pacific, Europe, Middle East and Africa, and Switzerland.

    Under the "Rating" section, the website describes the assessment of UBS'' corporate responsibility as evaluated by certifying bodies and independent rating agencies that assess corporate responsibility programs across the world (ISO 14001 Certificate, Dow Jones STOXX Sustainability Indexes and FTSE4Good Indexes).
