At UMS we believe that no matter how big or small, we can all make a marginal difference towards a sustainable future. Hence, we have adopted simple practices to ensure we minimise our environmental footprint. This is demonstrated across our business. From transitioning to a paper-free workplace and reducing our energy consumption, to the way we consolidate, package and deliver our products to the end user. We also continuously evaluate and assess the products and practices of manufacturers we work with, promoting and working closely with those who share the same environmental principles and invest in sustainable technologies and products.

Social Responsibility is a core piece of our company culture and taking care of our people is our number one priority.

• Employment practices:
• The UMS code revolves around the idea of the team. We operate in transparent, inclusive, and open environment with clear sets of responsibilities and purpose. Having adopted the Agile Methodology, our employees enjoy a more structured working framework achieving better results and higher productivity & morale.
• Remote working, competitive compensation, flexibility and recognising effort and talent are at the centre of our culture.
• Diversity & Inclusion: Operating in 3 different countries, we naturally have a diverse identity. Our team is comprised of people of different ethnicities and cultures. We stand for gender equality, with 50% of our workforce being female, and support organisations like WISTA in both the UK and Greece.
• Community: The UMS team is supporting local shipping communities, employing young graduates from local universities and colleges. Our leadership team is committed to giving back to the community and actively aids when and where there's need.
