Social Value Protecting our world


Spending taxpayers’ money is a big responsibility. In many ways we are the custodians of the public purse, so making sure every penny counts is at the core of all we do. Not only are we responsible for the financial performance of spend, we’re also responsible for the social outcomes public spend can deliver.


YPO has committed to embedding all Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) into every Procurement by 2020. As there are 17 SDGs, we’ve picked five to focus on first:


• No Poverty • Zero Hunger • Good Health and Well-being • Decent Work and Economic Growth • Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions


As well as having your commercial best interests at heart, we’ve also got you covered for important social agendas like local business, poverty, good economic growth, homelessness, health and wellbeing, employability and the environment as well as slavery, trafficking and ethical trading. It’s a big world out there and through our focus on the SDGs, we’re doing our bit to help us all look after it.
