Social Value
Social value is a fundamental part of our responsibility and how we improve opportunities for all.
How Ongo creates social value
Our aim is that everything we do supports and enhances local people and the communities in which they live. This includes creating social value in everything we do, making social value a core part of our business, embedding it within our mindset and culture, and strengthening our overall commitment to being a leader of social value.
Our social value framework (provide link) is committed to creating real, tangible benefits within the heart of the communities we serve through delivering social, economic and environmental benefits.
Our impact is not measured just in numbers, but lives transformed, as well as the wellbeing of our people, and the opportunities we create. We recognise the importance of transparency and accountability in delivering on our commitments.
We will measure, monitor, and report our progress and outcomes, ensuring alignment with stakeholder expectations, maximising social value opportunities through our supply chain, and launching new initiatives to make sure that we look for commitments that really matter to our residents and the communities in which they live.
For us, social value is a fundamental part of our responsibility and is a key priority within our Corporate Plan and our journey to 2029.
