UBS Celebrates Singapore Anniversary with Sustainability Splash

The Swiss major is celebrating its 50th anniversary in Singapore in 2020, with the launch of an immersive art installation and new commitments focused on sustainability.

UBS rolled out an immersive art installation focused on sustainability at its new office outside Singapore’s central business district at 9 Penang Road.

It features 3,600 butterflies and birds made from repurposed bottles by UBS staff and other external partners. And the bank hopes the installation can make it into the Singapore Book of Records as the «largest display of butterflies made from recycled plastic bottles.

According to UBS, the move to launch the art display was to demonstrate its commitment to sustainability and community engagement, with efforts extending beyond just cosmetics.

UBS Singapore will match 10 percent of the total amount raised and continue to support and collaborate with our local community partners to make a significant and lasting impact to local communities,” said Michelle Per, UBS Singapore’s community affairs lead, according to a report.
