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.

+ Social Value Vietnam
Social Value Vietnam (SVV) is the official Vietnam Associate Network of Social Value International (SVI), established in 2026 by Impact Link Asia together with founding organisations and practitioners. We bring together businesses, social organisations, investors, funders, researchers, consultants, public-sector actors and emerging professionals who want to strengthen how impact is understood, measured and managed in Vietnam.
At a time when ESG, sustainability, impact measurement and reporting are gaining momentum in Vietnam, SVV helps take the conversation a step further: from reporting activities and managing risks towards understanding what changes for people, what matters to stakeholders, and how that evidence can improve decisions.
Through market education, peer learning, localised resources, practical training and connections with the wider SVI network, we aim to build capability in the Principles of Social Value, Social Return on Investment (SROI) and impact measurement and management. Our ambition is a strong Social Value community in Vietnam - one where impact is not only measured, but understood, valued and used to make better decisions.

What Is an Associate Network?
Associate networks are networks or groups of members that are either working towards the formation of a Joint Member Network or have agreed that building a community of practice or working group, instead of a membership body, is more appropriate.
They may be unincorporated or incorporated bodies
They do not have to be Company Law Members of Social Value International
They must meet the criteria in the Social Value International Social Value Group Memorandum of Understanding
