Episode 34: Doing Good, Winning Business: Making Social Value Count
About this episode
In this episode of the Buckinghamshire Business First Talking Heads podcast, Michael Garvey MBE speaks with Marcela Heime MSc, Founder & Director of CSR with Purpose, about how businesses can create meaningful social value while strengthening their opportunities to win work.
The conversation explores what social value means in practice, from supporting local jobs and suppliers to building stronger relationships with charities and communities. Marcela discusses the changing procurement landscape and why understanding the priorities of councils, the NHS and other public sector buyers is becoming increasingly important for businesses bidding for contracts.
Michael and Marcela also explore the opportunities for smaller businesses in Buckinghamshire, including how they can recognise the value of work they may already be doing in their communities, demonstrate its impact and make their efforts more closely aligned with local needs.
Tune in for a practical and thought-provoking conversation about doing good with purpose, creating stronger communities and turning social value into an opportunity for both businesses and Buckinghamshire.
