To us, Social Value is about 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?

As of November 2024, we’ve been accredited the Bronze Social Value Quality Mark which means ‘We’ve pledged to create, measure and independently report our social value.’

Social Value Quality Mark CIC is an independent social enterprise that challenges rigour, celebrates high standards and drives local spend. The purpose of the Quality Mark is to cultivate and recognise the highest known standards in values-led business. It was created to assist organisations to demonstrate social impact and value claims, and also helps them to align with current legislation.

There are 4 levels of accreditation, each acknowledging an increasing level of maturity in terms of social value measurement, development and reporting. It is one of the most rigorously tested standards of its kind in the UK.

We plan to publish the Social Value pledges we’ve developed in 2025 and begin reporting our impact on a quarterly basis. We will also publish an annual Social Value Impact Report at the end of the company financial year on our website and across our digital channels.

Now we’ve secured the Bronze, we intend to apply for our Silver application in late 2025.
