Sodexo is a member of the national social value taskforce and part of its work is influencing the way in which social value is embedded into both corporate and public sector activities. The aim is to create healthy, thriving and resilient communities.
The conference theme this year is ‘Towards a Social Value economy’ and the two-day event will facilitate sharing best practices and innovative ideas for social value and discuss how organisations across sectors can do 'good business’.
Following his keynote speech, Sean will join a panel chaired by Charlie Wigglesworth, chair of Social Enterprise UK, along with Martin Traynor from the Cabinet Office and Barry Hooper from the Ministry of Justice to discuss the role of business in creating a social value economy.
Haley said: “Our purpose has always been to contribute positively to those communities in which we live and work, through every interaction, so I am looking forward to sharing our progress with delegates, and to hear other organisations’ experiences, during this important conference.”
At the conference, Sodexo will also be showcasing Starting Fresh, its programme of activity to encourage and provide guidance to businesses on proactively hiring ex-offenders.
