Cycling for Good 2026 Driving Social Impact with IdéeSport

Vue d'ensemble

Cycling for Good is a powerful employee-driven initiative by UBS that combines endurance, purpose, and collective impact. What started as a passion for cycling has grown into a meaningful platform where colleagues come together to push their physical limits while supporting important social causes.

Each year, UBS employees take on an extraordinary challenge—cycling hundreds of kilometers across the Alps over several days. Covering routes of up to 700+ km and more than 10,000 meters of elevation, the journey is not just a test of physical strength, but a symbol of commitment, resilience, and solidarity.

But the true purpose goes far beyond the ride.

Cycling for Good is about transforming personal effort into collective impact. Participants actively fundraise throughout the journey, mobilizing their networks to support nonprofit organizations that address urgent social challenges—ranging from mental health support for young people to efforts to combat food insecurity in Switzerland.

What makes this initiative unique is its authenticity: it is fully organized and driven by UBS employees themselves, who invest their time, energy, and resources to make it happen. This grassroots spirit creates a strong sense of ownership and purpose, turning a sporting challenge into a shared mission for good.

At its core, Cycling for Good reflects a simple but powerful belief:
when individuals come together with purpose, even the toughest climbs can create lasting social impact.

In 2026, UBS Cycling for Good is proud to support IdéeSport, contributing to its mission of creating inclusive spaces for children and young people to stay active, connect, and grow—especially in communities where access to such opportunities is limited.
