Social data

Social Value and Design of the Built Environment, published by the Supply Chain Sustainability School in 2017, suggests that social value data includes:

  • Indicators; indication of performance; how likely you are to hit target(s)
  • Metrics; points against which data is collected and from which indicators can be calculated
  • Inputs; what’s been contributed to create social value (e.g. number of volunteer hours, number of new job vacancies)
  • Outputs; what’s come out of social value activity (e.g. number of previously unemployed people gaining employment, number of apprenticeships completed)
  • Outcomes; indication (at least to some extent) of impact. Particularly useful when supported by case studies or information about context
