Social Value gets us to think about how our businesses can support society/communities and how our businesses can impact on current issues in society, to improve the planet for future generations.
This programme will explain how Social Value is becoming an ever-larger part of the evaluation criteria for public sector contracts and how to respond to this. The programme will be delivered over 2 days, covering:

- Legislation around social value
- Why is it important for your organisation?
- Social Value Strategy & Policy
- Social Value Measurement & Reporting
- Best Practice of Social Value in Greater Manchester
- What is Climate change?
- Building a decarbonisation plan
- Q&A
Attendees will gain an understanding of the definitions and legislation around social value and sustainability and why it is important that the idea of social value and sustainability is embedded into an organisation’s strategy. The attendees will also have an understanding of the various ways social value can be measured/reported through the most common frameworks. Attendees will learn how to put together a social value strategy/policy document and best practise case studies.
Social Value is important because it gets us to think about how our businesses operate, consider how our businesses can add value to society/communities and how our businesses can impact on current issues in society, to improve the planet for future generations.
This programme will explain how Social Value can be measured and reported through the most common measurement frameworks.
