Nathan Goode, Chief Strategy Officer, Social Value Portal – Measuring environmental wellbeing in UKs supply chains 

Social Value Portal promotes better business and community wellbeing through the integration of social value into day-to-day business. We offer the Portal, an online solution that empowers organisations to measure and manage the economic, social, and environmental contributions that their organisation and supply chain makes to society. It also rewards organisations for doing “more good” in the community.  

What is Social Value?  

Increasingly, organisations are considering their activities holistically, taking account the wider economic, social, and environmental effects of their actions. Social value serves as an umbrella term for these broader effects, and organisations which make a conscious effort to ensure that these effects are positive. Social value includes contributing to the long-term wellbeing and resilience of individuals, communities, and society in general.

 


Our Scholars alongside MBA Director, Debbie Kemp will welcome a global live audience, bringing together our community of MBA students, alumni, and the broader community of business leaders.

There will also be a chance to submit questions to the panel during the Q&A. Join us and see what the MBA Guest Lecture Series has to offer.
