Social value
We aim to produce and support sustainable business, positively impacting existing, new and evolving communities through added social value. Our goal is to make a real difference to people鈥檚 lives by enhancing the social, environmental and economic well-being of the communities in which we operate.
What is Social Value?
- Social Value refers to the wider impacts of projects and programmes including the wellbeing of individuals and communities, social capital and the environment.
- It鈥檚 all the things we do as a responsible business to support communities, the environment, our charity partners, the local economy and AG百家乐在线赌场官网 staff to leave a positive legacy
- However big or small 鈥� it's Social Value.
We are committed to:
- Assessing local needs and engaging stakeholders. We are committed to starting our involvement before we submit a tender return, by getting to know the area and identifying what is valuable to the local community.
- Developing community partnerships. We aim to use 鈥楢ppreciative Inquiry鈥� techniques wherever possible, to involve the community in setting project objectives and targets, and feeding back on whether they have been delivered.
- Leaving a long-term legacy. We believe that to ensure we deliver a positive legacy, we must stay involved with the communities in which we work for the longer term, ensuring we follow up with our 鈥楢ppreciative Inquiry鈥� community groups, and measuring the long-term value the community feels has been brought by the project.
- Delivering measurable social value. We are committed to measuring the social value created across all AG百家乐在线赌场官网 activities using the National Themes Outcomes and Measures (TOMs) Framework in the following categories:
- Jobs: promoting local skills and employment
- Innovation: promoting social innovation
- Environment: protecting and improving our environment
- Growth: supporting growth of responsible regional business.
