Social Value Policy

At D’Pertus Consulting, we recognise our responsibility to deliver social value through our work as a systems engineering consultancy. We are committed to making a positive impact on society, the economy, and the environment by integrating social value principles into our operations and services.

Our Commitment

We aim to create long-term benefits for our clients, employees, and the communities in which we operate. Our approach focuses on three key areas: Economic Growth, Social Well-being, and Environmental Sustainability.

1. Supporting Economic Growth

  • Skills Development: We promote opportunities for knowledge transfer, mentoring, and professional development in systems engineering, including supporting early-career professionals and graduates.

  • Local Supply Chain: We prioritise working with local suppliers and SMEs to contribute to regional economic growth.

  • Job Creation: Where possible, we seek to create employment opportunities within the communities we serve.

2. Promoting Social Well-being

  • STEM Engagement: We support education and outreach initiatives to inspire the next generation of engineers, including partnerships with schools and universities to encourage STEM learning.

  • Inclusive Work Environment: We champion diversity, equity, and inclusion within our organisation and across our projects.

  • Community Engagement: We encourage employees to participate in volunteering and pro bono initiatives that benefit local communities.

3. Enhancing Environmental Sustainability

  • Sustainable Practices: We strive to reduce our carbon footprint by minimising energy use, promoting remote working, and adopting environmentally friendly practices in our operations.

  • Green Solutions: We incorporate sustainability considerations into our systems engineering processes, helping clients develop innovative solutions that align with environmental goals.

  • Waste Reduction: We minimise waste through responsible resource management, recycling, and advocating for circular economy principles.

Measuring and Reporting Impact

To ensure accountability and continuous improvement, we:

  • Regularly assess our social value initiatives.

  • Engage with stakeholders to understand their needs and expectations.

  • Report on our progress annually to demonstrate the tangible outcomes of our commitments.

We are committed to delivering systems engineering solutions that not only address complex challenges but also leave a lasting, positive legacy. By embedding social value into our work, we aim to contribute to a fairer, more sustainable, and thriving society.
