Responsibility

Our Sustainable Choice label (currently available in Germany) lets buyers know which suppliers have met the highest ESG requirements. It’s one way we’re helping businesses do the right thing, building a better future, one order at a time.

Our sustainable approach applies to the way we work too. From powering our offices to improving our processes, we’re stepping up and sharing our findings. Request the report to learn what we’ve already achieved and where we’re heading.

In 2021, our practices were assessed by EcoVadis, the world’s largest and most trusted provider of business sustainability ratings. We’re in the top 12% in our industry. It’s a great achievement, but we’ve still got more work to do.

Our business partners place a lot of trust in the network. That’s why our rules and regulations make fairness and transparency the basis for all interactions on Unite.

We’re dedicated to building a company where everyone benefits. Here you can read about our personal commitment to uphold the standards we expect from others.

Our values are intrinsic to our culture and all we do – from welcoming diverse perspectives to our optimistic outlook. Stay tuned, our values will be making their debut soon.

Building lasting relationships with our business partners depends on fairness, trust and transparency. Our gift policy covers the exchange of customary courtesies and small, appropriate gifts.

We hold high standards for all our partnerships, and especially for our Spotmarket suppliers. Choosing to collaborate only with carefully evaluated, high-quality suppliers.

Data drives our platform and empowers all its participants to create and share value, which is why we handle it with so much care.

As a proud signatory of the Charta der Vielfalt, we promote the recognition, appreciation and integration of diversity in business culture – not just in Germany but wherever our employees work.

We want to bring greater diversity to supply chains across Europe. As an MSDUK member, we’re part of a community that champions British ethnic minority businesses, working collaboratively to build a more inclusive economy.

Through our successful training scheme, we offer all employees the opportunity to learn new skills, take on new challenges, and achieve their professional goals.

Healthy employees, healthy business. Our Corporate Health Management Team ensures our people are in great shape – mentally and physically. This Barmer Health award-winning scheme includes sports programmes, ergonomics advice and free counselling sessions.

We encourage our people to make a difference outside of Unite. Whether they’re volunteering for a local charity or championing a global cause, employees receive 12 days of special leave each year, half of which are paid, to do some good.
