UBS is excited to be the presenting partner for Trash-sure, a nationwide campaign using art to narrate sustainability. For this project, world-renowned street artist Bordalo II has created a 7-metre tall sculpture in the form of a Sumatran Tiger by repurposing used materials.

As part of our trash to treasure campaign, we unveiled Singapore’s tallest upcycled festive tree featuring 6000 flowers made from discarded bottles. Our second installation, Taking Flight, commemorated UBS’s 50th anniversary in Singapore, with 3500 butterflies and birds, crafted from repurposed plastic bottles with community partners.
