ESG Plan

Our ESG Plan

A powerful force for good

At United Living we recognise the critical importance of ESG to helping build a better society and planet for today, and future generations. That’s why our commitment to ESG is at the heart of our operations and is fully integrated into how we do business.

We deliver vital services in and around communities across the UK, every day. Our ability to have a positive impact is vast. Our focus on ESG supports our teams to deliver exceptional service, go above and beyond expectations and to add value through our work and focus on sustainability.

The future belongs to all of us

We have developed an ESG Plan, which gives a focused approach from which we can track our journey towards creating a connected, sustainable future.

Our ESG Plan has three focus areas, with high level commitments to optimise our impact.

How we work towards delivering these commitments will be shaped and reviewed continuously through our internal governance frameworks. We will measure and report against them via our reporting mechanisms and the publication of our annual ESG Impact Report.

Environment

Protect our planet

We are committed to creating a sustainable future by focusing on reducing our carbon footprint, enhancing biodiversity, and promoting environmental stewardship across all our operations. We aim to protect and nurture the planet through collaborative efforts, innovative practices, and a deep-rooted commitment to environmental responsibility.

Social

Enrich lives

Enriching lives through a focus on employee and community wellbeing, we prioritise mental, physical, and social health to create a thriving, supportive environment. We strive to have a positive and lasting impact on wellbeing and development for our people and the communities we operate in.

Governance

Trusted partner

Being a safe, secure, and trusted operator, we uphold the highest standards of governance and ethics, ensuring transparency, accountability, and integrity in all our business practices.

Measurement and Reporting

We are working in line with government and industry-recommended best practices, using the National TOMS Framework and aligning to the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

UN Sustainable Development Goals

The UN Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs) are a set of 17 interconnected global objectives aimed at addressing pressing challenges such as poverty, inequality, climate change, environmental degradation, and peace and justice. They are crucial because they provide a universal blueprint for achieving a more sustainable and equitable world by 2030, promoting collaboration among governments, businesses, civil society, and individuals to drive positive change on a global scale.

TOMS

TOMs, which stands for Themes, Outcomes, and Measures, encompasses a suite of reporting standards used by many companies throughout the UK to gauge their social value impact.

By aligning with both of these frameworks, we systematically capture and report on our ESG activities., tracking activities and measuring outcomes. This helps ensure we continue to leave impactful and meaningful legacies as we deliver ESG.
