Social Value

The positive economic, social, and environmental impact that we have on society.

It is a way of identifying how communities across north Wales have benefitted from all the development and maintenance work carried out, as well as services to support tenants.

The social value element reflects the positive value the business created for the local economy, communities and wider society.

As a business, we are now four years into our social value journey. Since we started looking at how we could capture our social and added value in 2021, along with our Social Value Co-ordinator we have been able to mainstream social value across the business and embed it into everything that we do.

Our aim is to continue this journey and improve the way we capture the added benefit that our activities create for our tenants and partners, year on year.
