The
UK Green Building Council (UKBC) categorises social value under three broad
themes: jobs and economic growth; health, wellbeing and the environment;
and strength of community.
What
‘social value’ means in practice is likely to change from one job to
the next, as different buyers will have different priorities when it comes
to social value. For example, they might look for you to provide:
- Training for local
people in areas of high unemployment
New or restored
green spaces in built-up communities
- Employment for
groups that are underrepresented in the construction industry
