- A strong commitment to corporate social responsibility (CSR) and involvement with the communities they operate in.
- Innovative culture fostered by managers consulting staff and sharing information about the company, and giving staff responsibility.

Social Value
Meeting the requirements of the Social Value Framework in public sector procurement.
Adding value to the work we do is part of our philosophy. We take great pride in being able to use our experience, creativity and technology to help clients achieve the results they need. A concept like Social Value, which aims to make public sector expenditure go further and do more, fits the way we work.
The support of the formalised framework is welcome, as our engagement with it is an ongoing workflow across all the themes, which will continually reveal opportunities to improve our offering.
- COVID-19 recovery
- Tackling economic inequality
- Fighting climate change
- Equal opportunities
- Wellbeing
- Information Security
To an SME, a public sector organisation can leave a lasting legacy, far greater than a successful project. It ensures environmental, economic and social aspects are considered in the decision making process.
