OneAdvanced earns bronze social value quality mark

We are proud to announce that OneAdvanced has officially earned the Bronze Social Value Quality Mark®. This independent UK accreditation is a significant milestone that validates our commitment to making a positive and measurable impact on society. It recognises how we are turning our core ethos of 'Bettering Society' into tangible actions that benefit people, communities, and the environment. 

What is the social value quality mark? 

The Social Value Quality Mark® is a respected and rapidly growing UK standard. It provides a clear framework for organisations to prove the real-world social impact of their operations. Unlike some accreditations that focus purely on internal processes, this mark verifies that a company is delivering genuine, positive change. 

It is recognised by both the public and private sectors, standing alongside well-known frameworks like B Corp. Earning this award places OneAdvanced in a select group of organisations committed to verified social impact. We join other forward-thinking technology companies like Netcompany UK, Airwalk Reply, CGI UK, and PDMS who have also achieved this standard. 

This accreditation helps organisations like ours to: 

• Prove the real social impact of our work. 
• Align our activities with current social value legislation. 
• Build stronger connections with local communities and economies. 

Achieving the Bronze level is an important first step, demonstrating that we have established a solid foundation for delivering and measuring our social value contributions. 

Why social value is central to our mission? 

Social value is the positive effect a business has on the world around it. It extends beyond financial success to include the wellbeing of people, the strength of communities, and the health of our planet. For us, social value is not a separate initiative; it is woven into the fabric of our business strategy and our ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) goals. 

Our commitment to social value reflects our core principles. It helps us build trust with you, our customers and partners, by showing that we operate ethically and responsibly. It also motivates our colleagues, who can take pride in knowing their work contributes to a greater good, and benefits society as a whole. 

We bring social value to life in several ways: 

• Supporting local economies: We prioritise working with local businesses to drive regional growth and prosperity. 
• Community engagement: Our teams actively participate in fundraising and volunteering for causes that matter. 
• Environmental responsibility: We are dedicated to reducing our carbon emissions and promoting sustainable practices. 
• Investing in people: We focus on developing skills, promoting employee wellbeing, and creating an inclusive workplace. 

This accreditation reinforces these commitments. It aligns with modern procurement requirements, where social impact is a key consideration, and proves that our contributions to the community and ethical business practices are more than just words. It is how we embed purpose into every decision we make.
