Social Value UK is the national network for social impact and social value. Social Value UK is a member of the global network Social Value International. Our members share a common goal: to change the way society accounts for value. All too often key decisions about resources and policies are made using a limited economic concept of value, which fails to consider important effects on people and the environment. As the gap between rich and poor increases and the effects of climate change become more apparent, our work has never been more urgent.

We dream of a world in which people come first. A world where families are safe, healthy and free. Economic development is important, but strong economies alone do not guarantee strong societies. If people lack the most basic human necessities, the building blocks to improve their quality of life, a healthy environment and the opportunity to reach their full potential, a society is failing regardless what the economic numbers say.

The Procurement Innovation & Leadership Lab provides implemented social sourcing innovation and circular economy leadership and development solutions to Governments, public sector bodies and corporations. Our aim is to create a more just, fair and sustainable world by optimizing the social and environmental value of every dollar spent.

We do this by supporting governments, public and social leaders to design, develop and execute innovative sourcing strategies, circular economy procurement frameworks and financing models optimizing social value, costs and efficiency objectives.

We are a carefully curated, path-breaking global community of legal futurists including, transaction specialists, reformers and philosophers acting together to catalyse systems change.

We work collaboratively within ‘Networked Communities of Practice’ to bring about deep ecological transformation at local and global levels.
