We are proud to launch our new Social Value strategy called ‘Building Connected Communities'
Delivering £1bn of core social value by 2030 is fundamental to the legacy we aim to leave through our People-Planet-Purpose sustainability framework. To support this, today we are proud to launch our new Social Value strategy called ‘Building Connected Communities’.
The strategy builds on great foundations, adding depth, focus and cohesion to the way social value is delivered around our business. It focuses on three aspects of social value that promote positive social mobility: ensuring everyone has a fair chance to succeed regardless of their background or circumstance. These are:
- Education Engagement - inspiring futures by connecting classrooms to careers
- Employability - fair and supportive access to employment opportunities
- Investing in Communities - turning local support into lasting change
For us, social value goes beyond compliance. We believe we have a responsibility to leave an area better than we found it - creating long-term social impact is central to this. We're looking forward to sharing our progress with you.
