What is social value ?

Social value is the quantification of the relative importance that people place on the changes they experience in their lives. Some, but not all of this value is captured in market prices. It is important to consider and measure this social value from the perspective of those affected by an organisation’s work.

For Business

Using the Principles of Social Value can help business identify risks and opportunities and provide a framework for assessing whether the business should actively manage them.
