As a proud Social Enterprise, we do things differently to ensure our profits are reinvested back into local communities, to encourage positive social change for your children and your family.
As part of this commitment, we engaged the services of Social Value Business (SVB), an organisation that helps businesses to understand their social value and Environment Social Governance (ESG) to accelerate growth, inspire loyalty, win business and build reputation.
By working with SVB, we’ve been able to see what value our services and reinvestments are currently adding to local communities, what more we could be doing, and how best to measure the impact of our commitments.
What is Social Value?
The definition of Social Value varies from company to company, but through our work with Social Value Business, we define Social Value as ‘contributing to a better society by addressing social, economic, and environmental needs in the present, and for a sustainable future. Social value refers to the broader benefits that organisations, projects, or actions create for society beyond financial or economic gains. It encompasses positive impacts on people, communities, and the environment, such as improving health and wellbeing, increasing social equity, fostering community resilience, and enhancing environmental sustainability.’
What does Social Value look like at ActiveMe 360?
We’re thrilled to share that as of November 2024, we’ve been awarded the Bronze Social Value Quality Mark. This recognition underscores our commitment to measuring, creating, and transparently reporting the value we bring to our communities.
The Social Value Quality Mark is no ordinary accreditation. Designed by an independent social enterprise, it challenges organisations to uphold the highest standards in values-driven business. With four levels of accreditation, it’s one of the UK’s most rigorously tested standards, and we’re just getting started.
- In 2025, we’ll publish our Social Value pledges and begin quarterly impact reporting.
- We’ll also release an Annual Social Value Impact Report, showcasing our contributions and progress.
- With the Bronze Quality Mark secured, we’re setting our sights on Silver accreditation in late 2025.
At ActiveMe 360, Social Value isn’t just a concept; it’s part of our mission and commitment as a Social Enterprise. By holding ourselves to the highest standards, we’re building a legacy of positive change that benefits everyone.
