WSP and the Infrastructure Sustainability Council (ISC) have released a new insights paper focused on creating social value through Australia's infrastructure and built environment. The paper investigates diverse stakeholder voices from across industries, organisations, backgrounds, roles, and viewpoints, offering valuable insights into the impact social value can have on our communities.
Guy Templeton, CEO of WSP Asia Pacific, affirmed the importance of creating social value in infrastructure projects, "Investing in social value delivers immense rewards – it's not just a 'feel-good' add-on, but a powerful force for good that shapes a more equitable, inclusive, and sustainable future."
Templeton stresses that investing in social value is about more than doing what’s right, “When we focus on people and purpose over profit, it’s good for the nation, but it’s also good for business. It’s clear that investments in social value have the potential to deliver returns in brand, reputation, commercial advantage, and employee attraction and retention.”
WSP and ISC invite everyone to read their insights paper and join them in promoting the creation of social value through our infrastructure and built environment.
