The role of independent standards in social value
has never been more important.

Two routes to verify your social value
SVQM now offers two marks of accreditation based on your need. Both provide powerful tools for buyers and suppliers.
Organisational Accreditation
The Social Value Quality Mark is the UK’s highest national standard. Our four awards recognise increasing levels of maturity in how you create, measure and develop social value. The real value is in the process: transform your culture to drive benefits for your organisation, people and communities.
“The Social Value Quality Mark is a useful symbol to our teams. It provides independent assurance of a supplier’s commitment to business that benefits our communities.”
