Communicating Green

Unipart has a long history of engaging employees at every level of the company to solve problems, make improvements and introduce innovation. The company measures its employee engagement levels annually and consistently achieves amongst the highest scores in the country.

To mark World Environment Day on 5 June Unipart offered all colleagues a chance to participate in protecting the planet using The Unipart Way. We invited every site and every team across the Group to participate in an event on Friday 11 June, to come up with as many actionable ideas as possible for reducing carbon, eliminating waste, or making our operations more environmentally friendly.

Team leaders were asked to engage their teams in making time during the day to run a Digital Friday-style event to come up with as many ideas as possible. Ideas can then be submitted using the form on the Environment section of Unipart Way Online, the company’s knowledge management system.

As a result, the “Green Friday” event, which engaged all employees, recorded over 600 ideas for reductions in carbon, water, paper etc leading to a more sustainable work environment.
