Social Value in the Built Environment
Organisations are under increasing pressure to demonstrate their contribution to society. Many businesses also recognise the value that responsible business activities bring back to their organisation, thereby mutually reinforcing the case for a strong social and environmental purpose. As a result of industry interest, we have witnessed the publication of a plethora of built environment-specific tools, frameworks, policy and thought leadership yet social value assessment continues to be complex and difficult to navigate.
This interactive half day course will cover all of the steps needed for a social value assessment, including:
Why attend
Gain the latest thinking on social value, and clear processes of how to generate and measure social value. The session will be compelling and interactive allowing you to think through the key touchpoints for a development to create broader positive impact on communities, whilst also learning from networking with your peers and experts and hearing about their experiences.
Who should attend?
This course will be most relevant to built environment professionals who are striving to maximise social value outcomes. We recommend delegates have a base level understanding of social value in the built environment before joining the course. See more on our learning levels here.
