The TOM System for Ireland: A new approach to impact

Written by Social Value Portal | Feb 16, 2026 3:43:11 PM

Many organisations in Ireland are doing positive work in their communities - probably including yours. The challenge is showing it clearly, consistently, and in a way that stands up to scrutiny and resonates in the boardroom.

That’s where the TOM System for Ireland comes in. Built on the foundations of the Social Value TOM System (used by the likes of Amazon, Hays, and Roche Diagnostics), it's a structured, independently validated framework designed specifically to measure and report Social Value.

This guide explains how the TOM System for Ireland helps you to:

  • Turn social and environmental activity into clear, credible numbers
  • Measure impact using data grounded in the Irish context
  • Avoid overclaiming and protect your reputation
  • Bring structure to the “Social” side of Environmental, Social and Governance reporting
  • Give boards, investors and procurement teams evidence they can trust

If you want confidence in your reporting - and clarity in your strategy - this guide is the starting point.
