UBS has removed its diversity targets from its annual sustainability report, despite CEO Sergio Ermotti's assertion that the bank's diversity, equity, and inclusion policies remain unchanged. The latest report omits previous goals for female and ethnic minority representation among directors, while retaining other sustainability targets. Additionally, UBS is reviewing its Net Zero Asset Managers initiative commitments following its acquisition of Credit Suisse, leading to the withdrawal of legacy targets.
