Social Value Portal is an online solution that allows organisations to measure and manage the contribution that their organisation and supply chain makes to society, according to the principles laid out within the Public Services (Social Value) Act 2012. It allows organisations to report both non-financial and financial data, and rewards organisations for doing “more good” in the community.
We can measure environmental, social and economic activities and will help identify and measure the additional social value delivered through your project in terms that are meaningful to your customers.
