Social Value
We embed social value into every stage of our projects – from early design and procurement through delivery and beyond completion. Our approach combines national frameworks with local engagement to create relevant, measurable benefits.
Our three strategic pillars provide the focus for how we design, deliver, and evidence social value across all our projects.

Our core social value themes
We are committed to delivering meaningful social value across all our projects, recognising our responsibility to society.
By using this framework we can not only align our decisions with local needs, but also maximise the positive impact we have on people. Our approach to social value management emphasises value creation rather than incurring additional costs.
We’ve outlined five key themes as our primary focus areas, encompassing a total of 42 individual social value performance indicators (SVPIs).
These indicators will steer our policy objective of achieving year-over-year growth in social value. They capture our aspirations to be a sustainable, trusted, and forward-thinking business, underscoring the values and behaviours ingrained in our organisational culture.
