Social Value Portal has launched its first dedicated offering for businesses that are getting started with Social Value.
Available to organisations with fewer than 500 employees and a turnover of less than £250m, the new membership package caters to the needs of the many businesses looking to get up and running with their Social Value programmes and gain competitive edge – with minimal expenditure of resources.
The new membership, which can be paid monthly to aid cash flow, includes:
Our recent survey of more than 700 Social Value practitioners found that 82% expect their organisation to spend more time on Social Value over the next three years. This solution will be an invaluable tool in helping them ramp up their initiatives.
Guy Battle, CEO of Social Value Portal, said:
As Social Value continues to rise up the priority list for most organisations, I firmly believe that having a robust Social Value programme holds the key to business growth. Over the past year, we have received an unprecedented number of enquiries from businesses looking to find out how they can measure, report and use their Social Value initiatives to build their customer base – and win work with the public sector. More often than not, these businesses already deliver Social Value in their communities, so this new membership package is designed to help them capitalise on what they already have in place – and optimise it to support ongoing commercial development.

Social Value is the value an organisation contributes to society beyond a reported profit. This can take the form of donating staff time for volunteering, committing to sustainable procurement practices, offering apprenticeships and training programmes, buying and employing locally, or reducing carbon emissions. Where profit is measured in standard accounting terms, Social Value is measured by actions.
