Welcome to the Social Value Practitioner Spotlight, where we highlight the important work of our members and accredited practitioners around the world to share their experiences in the realm of Social Return on Investment (SROI), Social Value and social impact reporting. This event is a showcase of the diverse and impactful work undertaken by our practitioners, providing insight into their projects, challenges faced, and lessons learned along the way. It also provides a great example of how the SVI Professional Pathway can elevate your career in social value.
