Local relationships
Listen to local people and organisations to understand the needs and opportunities around our operations.
SOCIAL VALUE
Building infrastructure.
Creating local opportunity.
We want the places where we operate to share in the value our business creates. Our approach to social value focuses on responsible development, local relationships and long-term opportunity.
OUR APPROACH
Lasting value.
Shaped by local needs.
As Platform grows, we are developing a social value proposition that reflects the communities around our operations. We want to understand local priorities and identify practical ways our business can contribute.
The detail of this approach is being developed. We will share further information as our plans take shape.
OUR PRINCIPLES
Connected to the places
where we build.
Local supply chains
Seek opportunities to work with capable local suppliers wherever practical, alongside the safety, quality and delivery standards our infrastructure requires.
Skills and opportunity
Explore ways to support local employment and skills development as our business grows.
Responsible development
Consider the long-term impact of our infrastructure and opportunities to bring suitable existing sites back into productive use.
ACROSS PLATFORM
A shared responsibility.
Our approach spans Platform DC, Platform Modular and Platform FM. We want consideration for people, places and local opportunity to inform how we develop, manufacture, deploy and support infrastructure.
START A CONVERSATION
Help shape
our approach.
We welcome conversations with local organisations, businesses and education providers as we develop our social value proposition.
Talk to Platform
PLATFORM SOCIAL VALUE FUND
Local priorities.
Lasting benefit.
We are developing the Platform Social Value Fund to help communities around our operations share in the value we create. Our intention is to support local initiatives, with priorities shaped through engagement with the people and organisations who know their communities best.
The fund’s structure, governance and funding arrangements are being developed. We will share further details, including how support will be allocated, as the proposition is confirmed.
