Associate Networks
Social Value International’s Global Network is made up of independent and locally led organisations working at the forefront of social value and impact management. Social Value International works in partnership with these local networks to promote The Principles of Social Value, refine and share practice, and to build a powerful movement for change.
We work together to build a movement locally and globally, where organisations and individuals have the skills and ability to account for a broader definition of value and protect people and the planet.
Associate Networks play a vital role in building and developing social value and impact management ecosystems across the countries and regions in which they are based. SVI works alongside these networks to develop practice and standards, upskill individuals and organisations, and develop a collective movement for change.
