Social Value – Creating Positive Change

Delivering social value is an intrinsic part of Thakeham’s culture, it is in the ‘Thakeham Family’ DNA and woven throughout our business activities

Thakeham defines social value as the changes we create in people’s lives that affect their wellbeing.

Thakeham thrive on delivering enhanced social value to our stakeholders, including our people, our supply chain, and the communities we build for and within.

Social Value UK

Thakeham are Pioneer members of Social Value UK, the professional body for social value and impact management. Our work with Social Value UK has enabled us to develop our inherent social value delivery into a cohesive programme that addresses the needs of all our stakeholders.

Our activities are split into the following four strategic pillars:
