THE UNITE GROUP PLC | Sustainability Report 2025 28 Social impact We have been working with the B4SI framework to strengthen how we understand, measure and communicate our social impact. In 2025, we have been improving the quality of our data and working on moving beyond describing activities and inputs, to better demonstrate outcomes and impacts. Using a structured framework throughout all community focused activity enables us to understand the impact of diverse activities, assess their effectiveness and demonstrate the value they create. The tables below summarise relevant metrics that aim to quantify the social impact achieved in year. The data is drawn predominantly from our Positive Impact programme, where teams initiate local community projects designed to make a tangible difference. By applying the B4SI framework, we gain valuable insight into the outcomes achieved for both the organisations we support, and the team members involved. For example participants reported significant improvements in job-related skills and positive change in behaviour/attitude as a direct result of community projects.
