Arcus FM, a leading provider of technology-led, people-driven Facilities Management services, has released its Social Value Report for the financial year 2023/24, announcing the delivery of over £100 million in social value.
This achievement underscores the company’s commitment to enhancing communities and creating lasting positive impacts through various initiatives.
The calculation is driven by Government-backed Social Value Portal’s ‘National TOMs Framework’, used to measure the impact of social value efforts by businesses. Multiple initiatives have contributed to Arcus FM’s performance in this area.
Arcus has increased its annual job offers to social value participants, providing 73 individuals from underrepresented groups with meaningful employment opportunities. This initiative focuses on young people, care leavers, ex-services personnel, and individuals with health conditions, helping them integrate into the workforce and gain valuable experience.
In a record-breaking year for the business, Arcus raised £9,346 through its annual Christmas raffle to support Whizz Kidz, a charity that provides customized wheelchairs to young wheelchair users. This contribution will help improve the mobility and independence of many children, making a tangible difference in their lives.
Demonstrating its commitment to sustainability, Arcus progressed to receive the SFMI (Sustainable Facilities Management Index) Gold Award. The company achieved a notable 6% increase in the society sector, reflecting its dedication to making positive impact on the environment and communities.
Arcus uses the Social Value Portal’s ‘National TOMs Framework’ to measure the impact of its social value efforts. For 2023-2024, the total monetary value (as calculated by the TOMs Framework) added to society by Arcus’ initiatives amounted to £102,082,746.52, marking an increase of over £16 million from the previous year.
Lisa Jardim, Head of Social Value at Arcus FM, added, “By supporting diverse groups and engaging in community projects, we aim to make a meaningful difference in people’s lives. The progress we’ve made this year is a testament to the dedication and passion of our team.”
Chris Green, CEO of Arcus FM, commented, “We are incredibly proud of the significant social value we have delivered this year. Our efforts reflect our core belief in giving back to the communities we serve and creating a lasting positive impact. We will continue to champion initiatives that support sustainability, social inclusion, and community well-being.”
