We are proud to have achieved the Silver Social Value Quality Mark, awarded by Social Value Quality Mark CIC. This prestigious accreditation is one of the most rigorous standards for social value in the UK, recognising organisations that are truly values-led and focused on creating positive outcomes for clients, communities, and the environment

Achieving this milestone reflects CGI’s dedication to delivering meaningful impact. Building on our previous Bronze-level accreditation, we have demonstrated a strong commitment to measuring, calculating, and enhancing our social value, with a robust approach to showcasing our contributions. The Silver Social Value Quality Mark is awarded to organisations that meet the highest standards, positioning CGI in the UK to benchmark and improve our social impact across all areas of the business.

To earn this accolade, CGI in the UK was assessed on key metrics, including reducing our carbon footprint, supporting youth skills development, investing in local economies, and ensuring fair treatment for our staff. Additionally, our ethical decision-making processes and responsible supply chain practices were evaluated. Our performance in measuring both financial and non-financial social value was particularly noteworthy. CGI’s innovative Social Value Calculator, developed to assist members, partners, and clients in accurately calculating their social contributions, was highly commended by auditors.

Richard Dickins, Managing Director of Social Value Quality Mark CIC, highlighted CGI’s achievement, saying:  “Organisations have a responsibility to operate in ways that add value to society. Through the Quality Mark, we champion the highest standards in values-led business. CGI in the UK’s Silver accreditation showcases robust evidence and a genuine commitment to driving social value across its operations.”

Mattie Yeta, Chief Sustainability Officer for CGI in the UK said: “We’re thrilled to have received the highest score awarded by SVQM for the Silver Quality Mark. This is testament to the robust governance processes and work we’ve put in over the last few years to embed social value and sustainability in our organisation’s DNA. Moving forwards, we’ll continue to use our technological expertise to develop our capabilities and tools to support our member-partners and clients, and we look forward to working with the Social Value Quality Mark throughout this process.”

This accreditation reinforces CGI’s position as a socially responsible organisation, further guided by standards such as ISO 26000.
