This assessment measures how well social value principles are integrated into your organisation. It is based on the eight Social Value International Principles, providing a globally recognised framework for measuring and managing social impact. By aligning with these principles, the assessment ensures a comprehensive evaluation of your practices and policies.
Key Features and Benefits
The assessment offers valuable insights into how social value is incorporated across your organisation:
- Evaluate Current Practices: Gain a clear understanding of how well social value principles are embedded in your organisation.
- Identify Strengths and Opportunities: Recognise areas where you excel and pinpoint aspects that could be improved.
- Benchmark Progress: Establish a baseline to measure growth over time and compare anonymously with similar local authorities. This benchmarking allows you to gauge your progress relative to peers while maintaining confidentiality.

Demonstrating a commitment to social value enhances transparency and accountability, building trust with residents, stakeholders, and partners.
