UBS is working with other institutions to create innovative sustainable investment and philanthropic solutions that can help private and institutional clients achieve their fi nancial and societal objectives. These efforts support the commitments to sustainable and impact investing set out in UBS’s 2017 white paper for the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting. We have also executed on our 2018 white paper commitments to partnership for the Goals. First, UBS has worked more closely with multilateral development banks, through our partnership with the World Bank, to offer development bank bond solutions for private clients. Second, UBS has collaborated to fi ll gaps in the sustainable investing landscape with innovative new solutions, including sustainable investment benchmarks, the mainstreaming of impact investment via multiple fund raises, and launching the fi rst fully sustainable investment­focused cross­asset allocation for private clients. Third, UBS has acknowledged the demand and impact of collaborative philanthropy, exemplifi ed through the UBS Optimus Foundation’s pilot development impact bond for boosting educational outcomes for girls and young women in India
