Join Social Value Canada!

Social Value Canada is the national membership body for social value and impact management. We represent those working in the fields of social value, SROI and impact management, as well as organizations committed to measuring and maximizing the social value that they create.    

We convene, support, and represent members locally, nationally, and internationally. We also collaborate with our members in promoting social value thinking, developing social value principles and standards, and advancing the practice of impact management.   

We are a vibrant, active and diverse membership community who are united in our mission to change the way the world accounts for value.  

Your Gateway to the Global Movement

Social Value Canada is the Canadian affiliate of Social Value International, the global membership body for social value and impact management practitioners.

This means that when you join SVC, you can connect with 4,000 practitioners and professionals in over 60 countries, access SVI resources, and attend all SVI member events.

The goal is to enable all within the global network to

  • connect
  • learn
  • get accredited, and
  • shape the global movement.

Social Value Canada encourages your involvement at the local, national and global levels, guided by your interests and priorities.

Types of Membership

Social Value Canada welcomes all individuals and organizations seeking to advance meaningful measurement, management and creation of social value.  

We offer three types of membership to suit your needs.  

Individual Members are an integral part of our community — working as experts, practitioners and advocates. You will receive guidance and support in your training and accreditation to build and enhance your knowledge and skills.  

You will have opportunities to raise your profile, connect with peers, and stay abreast of social value and impact management news. And you can get involved – in contributing to events, supporting advocacy campaigns, and shaping our movement!

We know that organizations want to better understand and manage the positive and negative impact that they have on their stakeholders, communities, and the environment. 

Becoming an Organizational Member is a key step on your social value journey, beginning to account for a broader sense of value, which integrates social and environmental value alongside financial return.  

By understanding the impact your organization has on stakeholders – be it customers, employees, or the wider community – you can be responsive in your actions and take decisions that enhance wellbeing outcomes for people and planet.  

In addition to all the benefits listed below, we can offer you coaching and customized training – e.g. on Social Value and ESG Reporting – to help you embed the Social Value Principles and standards into your organizational practices and culture.
