Our Social Value commitments are managed, delivered and monitored through our suite of externally audited policies and procedures. These ensure we deliver on our promises and objectives, not only through our direct employees and activities, but also throughout our whole supply chain.

Last year, Cognition worked with CHY Consultancy to update and enhance our social value proposition. After multiple working group sessions, CHY Consultancy helped us develop a strategy that provides Cognition with a clear, useable process to deliver meaningful social value, both internally and externally. CHY Consultancy also developed tailored tools to support us in refining our social value proposition.

Our newly revitalised strategy provides us with a robust process to:

• Create and/or deploy meaningful social value initiatives
• Mobilise social value activities effectively
• Measure, monitor and report on social value activities

In 2025, we have big plans for the implementation of this strategy. Cognition will strive to expand on our current social value initiatives to further our positive impact on the communities we operate in.
