Four key learnings from the discussion
Early engagement
Achieving social value and sustainability targets, while ensuring inclusive access to SMEs is heavily reliant on getting everyone to the table early
Set the standards
What gets measured gets managed; build social value and sustainability into procurement, holding partners to account and the rest will follow
Future skills
Place the focus on the future green skills necessary to make the 2030 vision a reality while supporting career prospects of people most affected by COVID-19
Bring it to life
While social value monetisation is great, tell the human story: making it succinct, punchy and real so that everyone can engage with it
