Our social value policy
Buying goods and services is one of the main ways we create social value.
When we choose a supplier, we look for organisations that share our values - and can make a real, positive difference to Manchester residents.
Our social value policy was developed with local charities and businesses. It focuses on five priorities:
- Driving inclusive growth
- Creating good employment opportunities
- Reducing inequalities
- Supporting the voluntary and community sector
- Creating a green and zero‑carbon city
We also ask suppliers to focus any support on opportunities for people who may be facing disadvantages or discrimination.
