UBS regularly provides training and work to raise awareness among employees about the Code. All employees are required to confirm annually that they have read UBS’s key documents and policies, including the Code. We actively engage in education and awareness raising for employees, staff, clients and our local communities on corporate responsibility and sustainability topics and issues.Through employee onboarding, education and broader awareness-raising activities, we ensure that our employees understand their responsibilities in complying with our policies and the importance of our societal commitments. Better understanding of our firm’s sustainability goals and actions is promoted through a wide range of training and awareness-raising activities, as well as in our performance management process. For example, in 2020, a specialist training program on environmental and human rights topics (including sustainable finance) was provided to approximately 20,263 employees in front-office and support functions who deal directly with related aspects in every-day business processes. All employees and external staff subject to mandatory learning requirements are required to complete financial crime training, which covers AML, sanctions, fraud and anticorruption. The training is mandatory and must be completed at least on an annual basis. We have included human trafficking as a topic in our Group-wide Financial Crime Prevention training module to raise awareness of the issue" p.6
