GM Chamber Procurement Briefing: Importance of social value

Are you ready for procurement changes?

Social value is fast becoming embedded in policy and procurement for multinational and local government. The social value act of 2012 paved the way for today’s procurement, policy and recruitment changes.

Corporate social responsibility has evolved from a policy driven directive into a model based upon the implementation of social value initiatives which are directly linked to commercial strategy. It is now an integral part of business. Social value supply chain is key to commercial growth and reducing our societal costs.

At this event our speakers will inform you of changes and we will enable you to have a pathway to embed sustainable business practices around social strategies into day-to-day operations.

By attending this free event, a GMCC partnership with Antz, we will aim to help you find out more about how:
