Committing to Social Value: RPS welcomes Gail Porteous as Social Value Lead
We’re delighted to welcome Gail Porteous as our Social Value Lead for UK and Ireland.
13 February 2024
Recognising the need for a comprehensive approach to social impact, we’ve appointed Gail to develop and implement a Social Value Strategy to streamline and elevate the great work we’re already doing. We’re committed to not just acknowledging, but actively contributing to the well-being of communities and the environment where we operate.
Providing expert knowledge, Gail will support our project teams, work winners and senior leaders, to plan, implement and measure social value initiatives and outcomes that align with our client’s and our own values and objectives.
Gail will be focusing on establishing a solid foundation for a successful social value delivery model. This model will serve as the backbone, capturing and measuring ongoing initiatives while positioning us for a future where our contributions to society are not just impactful, but also effectively communicated.
Bringing in Gail is a great move towards supporting our social value journey to develop and implement a robust strategy, along with a framework that showcases our ambitions, how we already deliver social value, and how we can do even more.
Gail comments:
“This model will allow us to collaborate with our clients and communities to generate meaningful positive impacts, while also ensuring that colleagues feel valued and proud to work for a business that invests in our people and the planet.”
“I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to shape the direction and approach the business will take with social value delivery. It’s a wonderful space to be working in and although it’s early in my journey, I already sense that RPS has the passion, culture, and appetite to make a real positive impact.”
Welcome, Gail.
