The first workshop served to inform employees about what social value is and of the importance of our commitment to it. Additionally, it aimed to mitigate a recurring issue with social value strategies, which is that they are not properly disseminated to all company staff. By including as many people as possible from different facets of the company (technical, site delivery, commercial, support, etc. teams) early on, we aim to create a social value strategy that is ambitious and challenging, yet realistic and deliverable.

The second workshop consisted of the main working group members whose goal was to directly collaborate with CHY Consultancy to develop the social value strategy. They participated in discussions and problem-solving activities to explore our past and current social value initiatives and help establish what direction to take going forward.

With more sessions planned for the future, we look forward to seeing what new opportunities for delivering social value this process will bring.

Thanks to all involved for their participation and commitment to delivering social value in all we do for the benefit of the communities in which we work.
