We've published our 2025 Social Value Report, showing how social value is built into everyday decisions across CBES. In 2025 we delivered £124 million in social value, independently verified through the Social Value Portal using the National TOMs framework. This is our third year measuring social value this way. The report is built around five pillars: environment and Net Zero; health, safety and wellbeing; our people; responsible procurement; and communities and giving.
"Social value is not an activity that sits separately from the business but is created through everyday decisions, from developing people and supporting local communities to reducing environmental impact and working responsibly with supply chain partners."
Fraser Allan - Managing Director , CBES
We cut our carbon intensity by 8% and diverted 99.6% of waste from landfill, supporting our SBTi-approved target of Net Zero by 2040, and recorded zero RIDDOR-reportable incidents and zero pollution incidents. Colleagues completed more than 18,000 hours of training and gave 594 volunteering hours to charities, schools and community projects. Read the full 2025 Social Value Report.
