In partnership with Skanska, we have laid the foundations for a Social Value Strategy at 7 Millbank which we will implement throughout construction and into longer-term occupation of the building.
We have, therefore, established a Social Value Working Group which met for the first time earlier this week. In addition to OPLM and Skanska the participants included McGee, WT, Hilson Moran, Make and G&T.
The focus is on how we can have a positive impact locally, changing peoples lives ideally in the long term. Consequently, we are prioritising initiatives anchored around education, employment, and social mobility (in the local Westminster community), and to provide a positive and safe working culture and environment.
