The North East Chamber of Commerce has launched a new Social Value Best Practice Guide to help businesses create positive social, economic and environmental impact through their everyday activities. Developed in partnership with organisations from the public, private and voluntary sectors, the guide highlights regional priorities including quality employment, skills development, inclusive supply chains, sustainability and community wellbeing.
The framework provides practical recommendations to help organisations strengthen local economies, support communities and create opportunities for residents, while encouraging greater collaboration across the North East to deliver lasting social value.
