Community benefit and social value
Making social value count
Whether we label it social value, CSR, legacy, ESG, sustainability or anything else, we all recognise that large investments have the potential to deliver broader benefits to society and leave a legacy. Copper provides specialist support to help clients develop, deliver, and communicate social value strategies that leave a positive legacy, in response to growing expectations and an increasingly complex landscape.
Insight and leadership
Our four-part podcast series brings together top industry voices – including leaders from Network Rail, Sellafield, Buckingham Group, Winvic, and Volker Wessels UK – to discuss how social value is defined, measured, and communicated in today’s rapidly evolving environment.
The podcast highlights practical challenges and solutions, helping both policymakers and practitioners unlock the true potential of social value.
