Canada’s professional network for Social Value , SROI, impact value & management.
Social Value networks are movements of people who see a future where social, environmental, and financial value is accounted for, and where decisions are made that account for impact on all people affected.
Social Value Canada is a collaborative space to advance Social Value, SROI, and impact management, valuation, and reporting in Canada.
We are the Canadian window to the global network of Social Value practitioners convened through Social Value International.
Together, we are “changing the way the world accounts for value”. This requires evolving how decisions are made, how resources flow, and accountability reporting to all people, communities, and environments affected.
We look forward to your involvement in events, methodology discussions, and training in a growing number of Social Value tools including SROI, the UNDP Impact Standards, and applying the Principles of Social Value.
What is Social Value?
Social value is about understanding impact on people and their wellbeing. It examines relative importance among changes to wellbeing and uses insights gained to improve decision-making and allocation of resources.
By taking relative importance into account, decisions we make focus on what people actually experience, and what matters to them the most. In this way we can manage impact more effectively, maximize impact with available resources, and increase the overall value of our activities.
