SVI Standards Commitee

SVI Standards Committee is a collective body uniting experienced practitioners of social value who represent our global membership to ensure the following: 

• SVI Standards represent best practice for applying the Principles of Social Value 

• SVI Guidance is produced timely and addresses the key challenges experienced by practitioners in applying the Principles 

• SVI training, assurance and accreditation reflect the current state of the Standards and Guidance

There are currently 15 members of the Standards Committee representing Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin America, North America, and Oceania.

All members are accredited or advanced practitioners of social value, with diverse experience of accounting for social value, SROI analyses and helping organisations to embed impact measurement and improve decision-making. Many of the members are also accredited as trainers and report assurance assessors, which is especially valuable to ensure alignment and consistency in application of the standards in training, practice and assurance. 

• Reviews SVI core standards, Guidance, Glossary and other related documents to make sure the contents is relevant, up to date and reflects the best practice in applying the Principles of Social Value.

• Reviews sector-specific guidance and case studies produced by Working Groups focusing on the most widespread challenges or gaps in the core guidance.

• Engages with the SVI members in regular open discussion sessions to identify the key issues to be addressed through development of new guidance, updates to training and assurance.
