Our mission
We believe the world is a better place with more creators in it – and creativity can and should come from anyone, anywhere. Unity supports Social Impact visionaries in driving change, facilitates education programs for the next generation of real-time 3D creators, and collaborates internally and externally to protect our planet.
Change happens when all voices are heard. That’s why we invest in creating economic opportunities for underrepresented creators and maximize the impact their work has on local communities and the world.
Learning should be accessible to everyone. We offer free, comprehensive educational resources and collaborate with institutions and nonprofits to enable over 300,000 students and educators to learn Unity every year.
We’re committed to driving sustainability through minimizing our environmental impact and supporting creators leveraging real-time 3D to decarbonize the world.
