Our Social Value Plan is focused on adding value for our customers and the communities in which we operate. We recognise that by aligning our core operations with our wider social, economic and environmental goals we can achieve more for every £1 we spend.
Our key priorities when developing our Social Value Plan are:
- To provide a co-ordinated approach to how we deliver Social Value across the business that links to our Strategic Plans
- To provide employment, training and skills development opportunities for local people
- To contribute positively to the communities within which we operate
- To increase employee engagement and retention
- To operate as a net zero business
Our Social Value Plan aligns with local goals within the Telford and Wrekin Council’s Social Value Policy:
- Creating skills and targeted training opportunities such as apprenticeships or work experience
- Creating employment opportunities for young people, long term unemployed, former carers, care leavers or NEETS
- Creating supply chain opportunities for SME and social enterprises
- Encouraging community engagement
It also links with the regional Shropshire Council’s Social Value Charter:
- Supporting the Shropshire economy:
- Supporting/purchasing from the local supply chain where possible
- Supporting or creating the conditions for growth in the Shropshire economy
- Developing education, skills and training opportunities within the Shropshire economy
- Employment opportunities for local people
- Good conditions of employment and fair wage rates and structures
- Promoting wellbeing in Shropshire:
- Supporting people and communities to be self-reliant, resilient, safe and mutually supportive
- A great place to live:
- Support or contribution to community initiatives
- People are able to contribute through volunteering opportunities
- A green and sustainable county
