Our client's on how we delivered on Social Value

The Epscot Social Value team supported us through accelerated understanding and deployment of Social Value, translating very complex guidance into an easy-to-understand concept via their tools and templates. The importance of understanding our true impact in today’s world is crucial and Epscot helped us to achieve this, for which we are already realising benefits across the business."
Essity
"The Social Value model is complex, and as a supplier to the NHS, we sought external guidance to understand it thoroughly. Working closely with the experts at Epscot has helped us key strengths and areas for improvement in the Social Value arena. In parallel, with the application of ISO 26000 being viewed as a leading way of assessing an organisation’s commitment to its community, sustainability, and overall performance, Epscot helped us determine our route map to attaining this benchmark. The Epscot team assisted us all the way through the implementation of a Social Value Framework and the journey of achieving ISO 26000 recognition. The importance of understanding and evidencing our social impact is crucial, and we have already started seeing the benefits of having our social value investments laid out in a logical and transparent way."
