Our Unite Principles of Conduct describe the essential principles that Unite considers as the benchmark for business conduct, recognising the responsibility towards people, society, and the environment. To us, these principles are minimum requirements that guide what we do every day.
We’re committed to the Modern Slavery Act 2015 Statement and are making extensive efforts to minimise the risks of modern slavery and human trafficking in our own operations and supply chain.
