tem sido assíduo/infatigável/constante


Explanation:
unyielding would usually mean inflexível - however, because the beginning of the sentence speaks of commitment to improving human conditions, etc., I would choose one of the above words because they convey that sense better - inflexível can have a negative connotation.
