Done well, CSR (or social value) gives you
and your business many benefits.
It enables you to create a culture that changes lives – wiping out
commodity type CSR of painting walls or high-level strategies that have little impact.
You can change people’s lives - building their knowledge, confidence,
independence, and in many cases, providing fulfilling work.
You can grow and add value to your business - which then
funds and sustains your social value programme.
It does improve your employees' wellbeing - as they develop new skills
and see first-hand the difference they make.

- You can find hidden talent for your organisation.
- It helps secure new business and retain existing – as procurement teams
give increased weight to social value impact.
- Reduced costs to society - changing people’s lives mean they need
less state help (eg. NHS or benefits).
Create greater impact through supply-chain CSR engagement –
by having CSR as a requirement for suppliers, or involving suppliers in your project.
