Corporate Social Responsibility

Taking action to make a real difference.

At Unifabs, we focus on more than just manufacturing. As a forward-thinking organisation, we embrace Corporate Social Responsibility, recognising that responsible business practices are essential to our growth. We appreciate the impact delivering our services has on our employees, the community and the environment, and are committed to ensure that we continue to operate in an ethical and sustainable manner.

Sheet metal manufacturing is not an environmentally friendly industry. It involves energy intensive processes, the use of hazardous chemicals, and produces a lot of waste. In recent years the industry has improved in terms of developing greener, more energy efficient fabrication technologies. But, there is still much more that can be done.

At Unifabs we have taken steps to reduce our environmental impact. We have installed solar panels to provide a significant portion of our energy requirements, reducing our carbon footprint. In addition, we continuously strive to minimise the use of single-use plastics during the delivery process. Instead, we opt for recycled and recyclable cardboard wherever possible. Utilising reusable plastic totes for regular, repeating deliveries further contributes to reducing waste and our overall environmental impact.

At Unifabs, we understand that our success is intertwined with the growth and development of our employees. We are dedicated to providing equal opportunities, training, and advancement within our organisation. Investing in new technologies and providing training opportunities not only enhances our capabilities as a company, but also unlocks opportunities for mutual growth. Through our academy, we are deeply passionate about inspiring the next generation of manufacturing engineers, nurturing their skills and knowledge to shape the future of our industry. By prioritising the professional development of our team, we cultivate a culture of innovation, expertise, and long-term success. 

Additionally, as an accredited member of the Living Wage Foundation, we are proud to have made the commitment to support employees with at least the real Living Wage, not just the government minimum wage, reaffirming our commitment to ethical and fair treatment for all. 

We aim to benefit the local community through employment opportunities and sponsorship of initiatives, activities and clubs for example, children’s football/rugby team sponsorship, school projects, work experience etc. We also support our employees in sponsorship of clubs and charitable activities they partake in personally, to help them give back.

Our commitment to corporate social responsibility is evident in our corporate partnership with Action Change. Action Change is a prominent non-profit organisation dedicated to empowering communities and making a positive difference in society.

Together, we work towards creating sustainable and meaningful change in underserved communities in Africa by supporting various projects and initiatives. By joining forces with Action Change, we aim to make a genuine impact on the lives of those who need it most. Read more about how donations have been used in the latest partnership update.
