Unigloves driving sustainable hand protection
FOR MORE than 35 years, Unigloves has been committed to delivering high-quality hand protection solutions that support workplace safety across a wide range of industries. Established in 1989, the company now serves customers in over 50 countries and continues to combine product innovation with a strong commitment to responsible business practices.

That commitment was recognised in 2025 when Unigloves achieved B Corp Certification, joining a global movement of businesses using commercial success as a force for good. The certification reflects the organisation’s dedication to balancing people, planet and profit while maintaining the high standards of quality, performance and service that customers expect.
As sustainability becomes an increasingly important consideration for health and safety professionals, Unigloves continues to invest in solutions that help organisations reduce their environmental impact without compromising protection. This includes expanding its product portfolio to feature biodegradable glove technologies and gloves manufactured using recycled plastic materials, offering more sustainable alternatives for businesses seeking to support their own environmental objectives.
Beyond product innovation, Unigloves works with several organisations dedicated to creating positive environmental and social change. The company is a member of the Ethical Trade Initiative, supporting fair and ethical supply chains, while partnerships with Ecologi and Plastic Bank help contribute to climate action and the reduction of plastic waste.
However, sustainability at Unigloves extends beyond environmental responsibility. Through its Unigloves IMPACT programme, the business seeks to make a meaningful difference within local communities and across its wider stakeholder network. Employees are provided with two paid volunteering days each year, enabling them to support charities, community projects and local initiatives that matter to them. From environmental conservation activities to supporting vulnerable groups and community organisations, the programme empowers colleagues to create positive change beyond the workplace.
This people-focused approach reflects the company’s belief that responsible business is about more than products alone. By supporting employee wellbeing, community engagement and charitable initiatives alongside environmental action, Unigloves aims to create lasting value for customers, colleagues and society.
As organisations continue to navigate evolving sustainability expectations, Unigloves remains focused on delivering hand protection solutions that help protect both people and the planet, demonstrating that safety, performance and sustainability can go hand in hand.
