Measuring and Reporting Social Value

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.

• What is social value?
• Understanding your impact
• Social Return on Investment (SROI)
• National TOMs (NTs)
• Social Value Model
• Social Value Reporting
• Environmental weightings in tenders
• Carbon Reduction Plans

• Q&A

Attendees will gain an understanding of the various methods by which social value can be measured and the factors which should be taken in to account through this analysis. Attendees will learn how to put together an account of social value for their organisation (or contract) and best practise case studies of how social accounts can be written.

Please note that participation in the Introduction to Social Value workshop is mandatory prior to attending this workshop. Please head over to this page and register for the session if you have not attended it yet.
