Insights into social value

SOCIAL SUSTAINABILITY

In Insights into Social Value, we will consider what social value is and why it is becoming increasingly important. How do you measure the social impact of your work? What role does this have in decision making? Our speakers will tackle these questions and more, each presenting from their own perspective and then taking questions from the audience.
