    Measuring Social Value in Ireland

    A globally recognised Social Value measurement framework, tailored for Ireland, that helps you measure, manage and maximise Social Value across your organisation and supply chain.

    Expectations around social impact are only intensifying. Consumers are sceptical of greenwashing, investors are questioning the substance of ESG ratings, and regulators are demanding higher standards.

    But traditional approaches like Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG), Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), and sustainability often no longer resonate in this era of climate breakdown and low trust.

    The TOM System for Ireland

    The Global TOM System for Ireland is a new approach to measuring social impact in business. It translates social, economic, and community impact into financial terms, giving boards, investors, and regulators numbers they can understand and trust.

    The Global TOM System for Ireland is part of the wider Global TOM System, and is built on the foundations of the UK’s Social Value TOM System™, which is trusted by over 200 government authorities and hundreds of businesses to measure, quantify and report on the social impact of their procurement, corporate activities, and supply chains.

    An Enabler of Credible Social Impact

    Many businesses are already doing good on a global scale, perhaps by donating abroad, or hiring individuals facing barriers to work indifferent markets.

    The Global TOM System for Ireland gives these businesses the tools to not only report their initiatives on a global scale, but to measure and enhance their impact - turning passive actions into an active force for good.

    Impact measurement is scattered across functions and stakeholders - from ESG teams driving sustainability, to procurement leaders assessing suppliers, to investors seeking future-proof opportunities and communications teams eager to tell the story.

    The Global TOM System delivers specific benefits to all stakeholders, while bringing the story together in a way that inspires and informs.

    "The reason we wanted to work with Social Value Portal was the validation element. I can with confidence turn around and say to my exec team, the board, and our CEO, that we’ve achieved this, and that can then be shared.”
    Hannah Leggatt, Director of Environment & Sustainability at The Clancy Group

    Validated, Credible and Trusted

    The Global TOM System for Ireland provides a consistent methodology for measuring impact while respecting local cultural contexts and preventing social washing through rigorous validation. All Social Value reported undergoes validation to ensure the data is free from errors and overclaiming.

    £60bn+ of Social Value has already been reported in the UK using the TOM System, and 250+ organisations, from local authorities to multinational corporations, are actively using the system to measure, quantify and report on the social impact of their procurement, corporate activities, and supply chains.

    Turning activity into measurable impact

    The Global TOM System for Ireland translates social, economic and community impact into financial terms – giving boards, investors and regulators numbers they can understand and trust.

    Every Measure has an associated financial value calculated by an expert team of researchers, economists and social scientists, using publicly available country-specific data sets.

    Social Value Creation

    • Each financial value consists of a series of “value blocks”, which represent the different ways an activity creates Social Value in both the long and short term.


    Clarity and Comparability

    • Turning complex social and environmental outcomes into clear, quantifiable values that everyone can understand, creating a common metric to compare and prioritise different initiatives.
