In this FREE webinar, Action Sustainability and our Senior Consultant Vaishali Baid will host a discussion alongside the Welsh government procurement team to discuss how the Social Value landscape is evolving in Wales and showcase how you can embed social value considerations into procurement.
Social value is about how organisations can actually demonstrate value for money and generate wider benefits and wider outcomes that they can deliver through spending this money.
In this 90 minute webinar you will hear from speakers who are working on Welsh social value and helped write the new standard and gain an insight into what is contained within it. You’ll discover how the standard could provide your organisation with a roadmap to addressing what is an increasing risk in these volatile times.
In this 1.5 hour webinar you will hear from speakers on the recent published Welsh Social Value Report with the purpose of reviewing the social value landscape in Wales and some use cases.
By the end of this webinar you will:
• Gain insight into the main elements of the Welsh social value principles.
• Understand the wider benefits of social value through procurement process.
• Develop an understanding of implementing triple bottom line within the organisation procurement strategies.
