Social Value Level 2 Management Certificate from Social Value International

We are delighted to announce we’ve been awarded the Social Value Level 2 Management Certificate from Social Value International.  Hitting the next milestone our Social Value delivery journey, the Level Two ‘Implement’ Certificate recognises our implementation of practices and methods that measure, manage and maximise social value across the business including its positive impact on the individuals and communities in which the teams live and work.

Samantha Alleyne comments: “With social value such a core part of our strategy, I’m delighted that we’ve been awarded the Social Value International Level 2 accreditation which demonstrates the implementation of robust systems within our business that are supporting the delivery of meaningful social value.

“Evolving from our Level 1 certificate, we’ve embedded our social value management approach for our teams, clients, residents and supply chain, and with Level 3 in our sights, we’ll be continuously improving what we do and how we do it. Always guided by transparency, responsibility and authenticity, ABP’s commitment extends beyond client social value delivery, it’s fundamental to ABP and the wider Group.”

Helping to put ABP’s social value into practice, is Billy Lowe, Social Value Lead who comments: “The three levels of the Social Value International accreditations – Level 1 recognises a commitment to social value, Level 2 is awarded for implementation of a social value management system and Level 3 is granted for maximising the approach to social value measurement – set out ABP’s direction of travel. We believe passionately that social value has to be much more than a tick box exercise. It is something that can have real impact on people’s lives.

“At ABP, we’re keen to find out what the communities where we’re working actually need, rather than making grand, expensive gestures. That’s part of my role, to talk to people about what they need and how we can make a true difference. Achieving Level 2 means we continue to double down and embed this into the strong, organisational culture that ABP has been created when it comes to social value.”
