As social housing providers, embedding social value and maximising it in everything we do is not just an opportunity, it’s our responsibility. If we want to create lasting, positive change in our communities, social value must be championed at the highest level.

I’m the executive lead on social value at Hyde, and I believe every executive team should have a social value sponsor. My role is to provide focus for colleagues and our supply chain partners, who play a key role in delivering social value to our customers and their communities.
