Maximising Social Value

We create social value through financial and non-financial activities in terms of the wellbeing of individuals and communities, social capital created and the environment.

Our Social Value report sets out how we are making a difference. In addition, our Procurement Social Value Charter which outlines our commitment to generate value for our customers, stakeholders and communities.

We are also the first rail company to work with the Purpose Coalition to break down barriers to opportunity and boost social mobility – read our Southeastern Purpose Coalition report.
