Community outreach
Being a socially responsible business is at the heart of our values. We are proud to have an ongoing commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility and giving back to those most in need within our communities.
Our Community Outreach pillars
Education & employability
We support organisations that provide education opportunities for all young people within our local communities to prepare the future workforce. We equip our employees to make a positive impact through mentoring relationships, reading buddy programmes and skill sharing.
Healthy and inclusive communities
We educate and engage our workforce on key societal issues within our communities. This includes supporting organisations that positively impact healthier, inclusive and more sustainable places to live and work in a fair and equitable society that has room for everyone to thrive.
Environment (climate action)
Climate change is widely reported as one of the biggest challenges of our time. We aim to reduce our environmental impact whilst minimising the impact of environmental issues on our business.
Giving back
At Unum we offer diverse opportunities for employees to give back and make a difference in our communities. One key initiative is the Unum Community Fund, our corporate giving programme that awards grants of up to £5,000 for community projects aligned with our outreach pillars.
Charity partners
As a responsible business, charity partnerships have been a core part of our culture and values for well over a decade. They enable our employees to make a positive and lasting impact in our communities.
