We are excited to announce that we have recently partnered with Thrive as our new social value platform.
Thrive helps us track and report on sustainability initiatives and social value impact, evidencing our commitment to being a responsible, forward-thinking business. The platform is aligned to the Impact Evaluation Standard (IES), the Social Value Act and PPN 002 and is used to measure and report on social value by wide range of organisations, including public sector bodies.
Through Thrive we have a one stop shop to record and report on all social impact delivery for Axis and CLC, allowing us to easily monitor our commitments and our progress against them.
The platform also provides a needs analysis tool based on the indices of deprivation which can be used for procurement, helping us to more effectively identify areas of need in local communities. It allows for the creation of individual dashboards for projects and clients and thus the monitoring of project-specific targets. It enables data collectors to be assigned to different projects (including our supply chain), generating data rich impact reports that can be used internally and externally.
Thrive also enables us to celebrate our progress against social impact targets. For example, it allowed us to calculate that, for the FY2024/25, AxisCLC generated £4,870,274.27 in Total Social Value, an incredible statistic that we shared in our Responsible Business Report.
We are excited about the opportunities this partnership brings to gain further insight into the outputs of our social impact initiatives.
