UBS is committed to net zero and is setting ambitious targets for each of the sectors above. At the same time, meeting the ambition of the Paris Agreement with a 1.5°C limit in global warming will require regulatory frameworks that support the transition to a low-carbon economy. As the world drives toward a low-carbon future, we will adjust our ambition where warranted in response to new regulatory and technological developments. 13#15Progress on our direct environmental footprint GHG footprint (scope 1 and 2) Kilotonnes CO₂e 132 59% 104 Renewable electricity sourcing FY18 72% 75 FY19 85% FY20 30 100% FY21 Environmental performance and 2025 targets Energy reduction¹ Peo 2021 2025 target Waste reduction¹ 2021 2025 target UBS 1 All reduction targets relate to 2020 baseline; 2 Per full-time employee; 3 Due to the impact of COVID-19 -> -5% > -15% > 2,3 -31% -10%² 2 Paper from sustainable sources 2021 2025 target Water reduction¹ 2021 2025 target 80% > 100% > -23%² > -5% 14#16People - our targets and progress in 2021 Our priorities People UBS Our targets 30% global female representation at Director level and above by 2025. 26% US ethnic minority representation at Director level and above by 2025. 26% UK ethnic minority representation at Director level and above by 2025.
