New: Built Environment Bank

Measuring the social impact of your construction, development and supply chain activities

HACT have long been pioneers in the development of social value measurement. The latest evolution has been developed in partnership with Morgan Sindall and Simetrica and incorporates a suite of value outcomes which are tailored to specifically measure the impact of activities through the supply chain.

Tailored social value measurement

The value outcomes can be grouped into seven areas.

  • employment
  • local environment
  • supply chain
  • youth
  • construction
  • homelessness
  • environment

Each outcome demonstrates the social value to individuals, the savings to the state and the local business. It has been designed for the built environment and supply chain so you can fully demonstrate your transformational impact to people and local communities in which you operate.

The Built Environment Bank uses the wellbeing measurement which is endorsed by the Government through the HM Treasury Green Book.
For the first time in compliant methodology, the suite of values will speak to three valuation strands.

You can access the methodology papers, outlining how these values are calculated here

Individual wellbeing

Savings to the state

Benefits to business
