As we’ve discussed before, Unitas’ commitment to our Corporate Social Responsibility could not be stronger. We’re proud of our city, our environment and our team and we’re here to prove it. It’s fair (and accurate) to say that CSR is the beating heart of Unitas and we’re delighted to confirm that in the 2022-23 financial year, we’ve given back over £1,121,226 in CSR Payback.
