Course information

In an era marked by social disruption and widening inequalities, the construction industry faces a pivotal moment in redefining its role as a catalyst for positive change. Join us as we delve into the profound impacts of social disruption and inequality on construction companies worldwide. From supply chain vulnerabilities to workforce diversity and community relations, we'll examine how these challenges reverberate throughout the industry, shaping project outcomes and stakeholder perceptions.

This webinar will cover Public Services (Social Value) Act (2012) and its pivotal role in mainstreaming social value priorities within public sector procurement activities. By examining the Act's provisions and applications, participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of how social value has emerged as a cornerstone of responsible construction practices, driving both ethical and economic imperatives.

Throughout the webinar, we'll confront the challenges head-on, exploring strategies for addressing social value within construction projects. From equitable labour practices and community engagement to sustainable sourcing and environmental stewardship, we'll uncover actionable approaches to mitigate risks and maximize opportunities for social value creation. Furthermore, we'll highlight the tangible benefits that accrue when social value becomes a central focus of construction practice, from enhanced reputation and stakeholder trust to long-term sustainability and resilience.
