A minute to read, a lifetime of value
Talking about social value matters
The first rule of Social Value Club is that we talk about social value because, at its core, social value is about creating benefits that encompass everything from environmental sustainability, social equity, and engaging all our communities, whatever they look like, and wherever they exist. The collective impact we all have on society when we consciously strive to make a positive difference. Social value isn’t just for someone else to do, it’s for us all to do, no matter how small or insignificant it may seem. It’s about building sustainability, resilience, and driving progress through transparency, accountability, and positive purposeful impact, actions, and change.
Collaboration – talking – is vital; by openly sharing social value practices and achievements we inspire and learn from each other.
Final Thoughts
Being part of the Social Value Club is much more than just talking – it’s about making a tangible difference. Organisations, communities, and individuals all have the potential to contribute positively to our society, and, as the ripple effect encourages more of us to contribute, the collective commitment has the power to shape truly remarkable outcomes where we succeed in terms of People, Planet, and Profit. So let’s make social value a part of the conversation. After all, that’s the first rule of Social Value Club: we talk about social value. and then we go out there and make it happen.
Your key Stakeholders are paying attention
In boardrooms, at conferences, community meetings, and conversations about the world for the next generation, Social Value sometimes struggles to fill seats and may lead you to think interest is minimal.
But don't let those vacant seats mislead you, Social Value is an increasing priority.
From job creation and economic support to environmental stewardship and community engagement – behind the scenes, your key stakeholders view Social Value as a core component of long-term sustainability and success, and it’s intensifying. Empty seats don’t tell the whole story, as Social Value is now an integrated rather than an isolated conversation.
It’s now woven into broader topics that often disperse attendance across various communities of interest and events, and others preferring actions over appearances.
Final Thoughts
Social Value is with us to stay, its redefining how organisations interact with each other to benefit People, Planet, and Profit, alongside building a stronger more resilient society where we all exist. While the turnout for events might not always be overwhelming, the impact on those who are paying particular attention to this issue is immense. So, don’t let the empty seats fool you. Your stakeholders are not just interested, they’re invested in making a positive impact by
Prioritising Social Value, and your organisation can meet these rising expectations in driving real change to strengthen its place locally, nationally, or internationally.
