Our Community Strategy

The Unipart Group of Companies adopts and promotes a strategy based on the notion of Sustainable Community Development. This notion builds on UGC's strong reputation for delivering knowledge and know-how to community projects in place of cash. The concept behind Sustainable Community Development is simple: UGC can teach or coach community groups in ways that can deliver self-funding or resource sharing. Through this programme, UGC can be seen as a catalyst rather than as a resource in itself.

Unipart's Policy on Corporate Community Investment

The Unipart Group of Companies will encourage and support its employees in participating in activities which benefit the community at large.

In doing do UGC subscribes to the principles of the Per Cent Club* and will therefore endeavour to contribute 1% or more of its pre-tax profits to the community, such contributions to include cash donations, management and employee time as well as gifts in kind.

For this purpose the "community" is defined as one or more of the following:

Charities;

Not-for-profit organisations representing economically and socially disadvantaged groups;

Schools and youth organisations;

Environmental, developmental and cultural organisations which aid economic or social regeneration;

Campaigns addressing specific community needs.

UGC will not support an activity whose purpose is to benefit a political or morally corrupt cause.

* N.B. The Per Cent Club was launched in 1986 by HRH the Prince of Wales with a view to encouraging companies to contribute more to the community. The benchmark for being a "member" requires companies to contribute at least 1% of their pre-tax profits through cash donations, staff time and gifts in kind. The benchmark is entirely voluntary.
