Social Value Management Certificate case studies

This section compiles a set of case studies from programmes and organsiations which have made a successful application to the Social Value Management Certificate. The Social Value Management Certificate assesses the standard of organisational practice in managing the social value created through its activities.

The Social Value Management Certificate has three levels, which are outlined below. This is an organisational development pathway, and so applicants must progress through each level consecutively.

Level One: Commit	An organisation or programme must demonstrate a commitment to embedding the SVI Framework and Social Value Principles into its policies and practices, supported by senior management and/ or the board. This means an explicit commitment to managing the social value being created in the organisation for all stakeholders.
Level Two: Implement	The organisation or programme must show that the commitment to managing social value in alignment to the SVI Framework and embedding the Social Value Principles is being implemented into the organisational practice. This will include evidence of data that has been collected.
Level Three: Manage	The organisation or programme must demonstrate that social value is being managed with an aim to maximise the value that is being created within the organisation’s available resources for all stakeholders. This means social value data is being used in organisational decision making continuously and systems and processes are being reviewed and improved.
