People are the driving force behind our success, resilience and innovation and so consideration for social value creation is in everything we do — from how we recruit and support colleagues, to how we partner with suppliers, and how we engage with our communities.

    Powering communities

We believe in "Zero Harm" and championing career growth. Our colleagues are our greatest asset. We’ve embedded mental wellbeing into our core operations, maintaining a 1:25 Mental Health First Aider ratio, and empowering our people to thrive through training and our "Gate to Great" progression pathways, including early careers opportunities.

A diverse workforce is a stronger workforce. We are a Disability Confident employer and a proud supporter of the Armed Forces Covenant. From gender balance initiatives to supporting those that face barriers to employment, we are opening doors to rewarding careers across our organisation.

Through our national charity partnerships, we are committed to driving positive social impact. By launching our Social Value Supplier Charter and committing to spend targets with SMEs, we are ensuring every £1 we spend brings a positive impact by collaborating with our suppliers on sustainability goals. We also collaborate with social enterprises and local charities to ensure our procurement power drives local good.

We are rooted in the communities where we operate. We work with schools and colleges to inspire the next generation and support our colleagues in volunteering locally. Our people are also empowered to give back through our national partnership with Trussell, the Railway Children, our "Climate Ed" environmental education programs, and our annual Big Charity Challenge fundraising events.

Fundraising

Unipart sites around the world engage in regular fundraising activities and events, with the most significant of these being Unipart’s annual Big Charity Challenge.

Each year, all Unipart colleagues take part in the Big Charity Challenge, which is a week of a wide range of fun and engaging fundraising activities in aid of local charities. By choosing local charities, the Big Charity Challenge provides great support to our people and communities, exemplifying the value of living and working with our unique culture, The Unipart Way.
