Social Value

Become a more socially responsible business

Social Value Support

Our team of dedicated Social Impact advisors are able to support your organisation to consider the impact of business operations on the community and wider society.

Social value refers to the positive impact that an organisation and its supply chains have on society, beyond just the profit they make. It involves working collaboratively with society to improve the community, economy, and environment around the organisation.  

Businesses generating positive outcomes for staff, suppliers, customers and communities will also place themselves well to become more profitable and achieve positive outcomes in tenders and contract bids.. Having the ability to understand, monitor and report on your impact is key.

You may also be generating hidden social value that is yet to be identified. So regardless of where you are on your journey to becoming a more purposeful and profitable business, if you are a small, medium sized enterprise or a voluntary, community, faith and social enterprise organisations that is looking to grow, our team of experts within the Social Value Team can support through tailored one-to-one, cohort programmes and/or workshop mechanisms.
