The Shared Value Business

OUR PURPOSE The Shared Value Business was born of a passion to help organisations deliver the best in Social Value, as employers, community members and business peers. The business world has never been more Volatile, Uncertain, Complex and Ambiguous. Embracing and adapting to our macro environment is vital, and the Social Impact agenda plays an important role in this. Changes to public contracting in 2021 will require adaptation in business policy and processes. For sectors driven by public sector clients, the need to clearly articulate and embed Social Value within contract delivery is key. Embodying strong Social Value wins contracts, builds a business which attracts and retains high quality employees and delivers positive financial, social and environmental benefits. We're committed to the UN SDGs and support our clients to engage with these. In our own working practices, we're taking actions to support Goal 5: Gender Equality through employment, collaboration and mentoring, Goal 8: Inclusive and Sustained Economic Growth and Decent Work through our work with supply chain and supporting Living Wage practices, and Goal 15: Halting Biodiversity Loss by supporting local environmental projects. For businesses, embodying strong values and ethics builds a reputation which delivers economic benefit. Attracting and retaining high quality employees and creating loyal customers yields positive financial, social and environmental benefits. For charitable purpose organisations, understanding how to support beneficiaries effectively makes the most difference to people’s lives and the world around us.
