Beef + Lamb New Zealand (B+LNZ) and Meat Industry Association (MIA) have just released new research that offers a robust, evidence-based assessment of the economic and social contribution of the sector, including production, processing and exporting. It is the first full measure of the sector's economic and social contribution since 2020. Project Lead Connor McIndoe from Business and Economic Research (BERL) joins us to make sense of it all. Read the full report here: Research shows New Zealand's red meat sector drives nearly $50 billion in annual spending across the economy.

"We have seen a transformation between the public sector and the private sector in terms of their relationship. We've seen enormous change in this country." - Guy Battle, CEO of Social Value Portal The U.K. Social Value Act of 2012 requires all public sector buyers to ask suppliers how much their business will contribute to the community if they win the work up for bidding. It has not just become a differentiator among supplier proposals, it has shifted how the government is awarding its contracts. Contributions to social value are now being included in the award process alongside cost and quality. Guy Battle is the CEO of the Social Value Portal, and the author of a recent article published in the Journal of Public Procurement: "Social value as a lever for achieving value for money and community outcomes in procurement." He describes social value as a business's answer to the question: How do you contribute to our environment, support the local community, and bolster the local economy? In this episode of the Art of Supply podcast, Guy discusses social value with Kelly Barner in the context of: The longer term corporate social responsibility (CSR) and environmental, social, and governance (ESG) movement Current regulations, and how they started a shift that has moved beyond compliance What has been required to allow social value to build momentum and achieve scale How public sector policy can drive change across the private sector supply base Links: Guy Battle on LinkedIn JoPP Article: Social value as a lever for achieving value for money and community outcomes in procurement Kelly Barner on LinkedIn Art of Supply LinkedIn newsletter Art of Supply on AOP Subscribe to the Art of Procurement Newsletter
What is social value? It's a messy, ill-defined beast that's increasingly a core component of public procurement, and it's something that we worked on recently so it's been front of our minds.We invited Michael McLaughlin (LHC Procurement Group) onto the show to talk through what he thinks about social value, and what he thinks it could be if the sector was able to organise itself better. No shade intended and we're not suggesting that it's easy to fix things, but we have looked into it. While there's a lot of great work being done there are an unconscionable number of opportunities being wasted, and not for want of trying.Notes from the showMichael McLaughlin on LinkedInThe LHC Procurement Group website LHC on LinkedIn **SOME SELF-PROMOTING CALLS TO ACTION**We don't actually earn anything from this podcast, and it's quite a lot of work, so we have to promote the day jobs.Follow us on the Zero Ambitions LinkedIn page (we still don't have a proper website)Jeff and Dan about Zero Ambitions Partners (the consultancy) for help with positioning and communications strategy, customer/user research and engagement strategy, carbon calculations and EPDs – we're up to all sortsSubscribe and advertise with Passive House Plus (UK edition here too)Check Lloyd Alter's Substack: Carbon UpfrontJoin ACANJoin the AECB Join the IGBCCheck out Her Retrofit Space, the renovation and retrofit platform for women**END OF SELF-PROMOTING CALLS TO ACTION**

Livestock sale barns are often thought of as places where cattle are bought and sold. But for many producers, they also serve as important gathering spaces — places to exchange information, build relationships, and stay connected in an industry that can be isolating at times.In this episode of Nebraska FARMcast, Ryan Evans talks with Marilyn Schlake and Dr. Cheryl Burkhart-Kriesel of the Department of Agricultural Economics and Nebraska Extension about their new research on the social value of livestock sale barns in Nebraska. The conversation explores what they observed on sale days, what producers told them about connection and mental well-being, and why these spaces matter to both individuals and rural communities.The research is summarized in the report Beyond the Auction: The Social Impacts of Nebraska's Livestock Sale Barns, available from the Center for Agricultural Profitability.

A landmark report released this week has found Indigenous businesses are helping to make progress on Closing the Gap targets, creating $42.6 billion in social value each year. That means every dollar invested equates to $3.66 in social value. The report by Supply Nation, which runs the largest directory of Indigenous businesses in Australia, says it leads to improved mental health conditions, increased pride among communities, and a better connection to culture and Country. Supply Nation CEO Kate Russell spoke with Stephanie Youssef about the report's findings.
Send us a textAre companies genuinely committed to creating social impact, or is it all just elaborate PR? In this thought-provoking conversation with Jimmy Cockerton, CEO of Impact Advantage, we cut through the noise surrounding social value measurement to reveal what's really happening beneath the surface.While headlines might suggest companies are retreating from ESG commitments, Jimmy observes the opposite trend behind closed doors - more organisations are recognising how delivering impact connects directly to business success. Yet this enthusiasm often fails to translate into meaningful change. We explore what separates authentic impact-led organisations from those merely seeking positive publicity through one-off community initiatives.The discussion tackles the fundamental flaws in current social value measurement frameworks that encourage box-ticking rather than addressing root causes of social challenges. Through practical examples like employment metrics, we demonstrate how companies can claim substantial "social value" without creating any new impact whatsoever. Of the billions reportedly generated in social value through public procurement, Jimmy provocatively suggests only a tiny fraction represents genuine new value for communities.We also examine the untapped potential of cross-sector collaboration by leveraging what each does best - businesses excel at making money and innovation, while social enterprises better understand communities and delivering impact. However, political short-termism presents a significant barrier to solving complex social issues that require decades of sustained effort rather than quick fixes aligned to electoral cycles.The evidence increasingly shows that businesses prioritising social impact alongside financial returns tend to outperform their peers financially - a compelling case for integrating impact into core strategy rather than treating it as a peripheral activity. Whether you're in business, government, or the social sector, this episode offers critical insights for anyone seeking to move beyond performative metrics toward creating genuine, lasting change.Connect with Jimmy on LinkedIn or visit www.impactadvantage.co.uk to learn more about measuring real social impact that transforms communities and businesses alike.Support the showHi, I'm Heidi Fisher, the host of the Make an Impact Podcast.

Send us a textYour voice matters. Right now, significant changes to UK social value requirements are under consultation, and the proposals could fundamentally reshape how social value is delivered through public contracts.The proposed changes create a concerning two-tier system. For contracts over £5 million, social value would become mandatory with a 10% weighting focused primarily on jobs and skills. Meanwhile, smaller contracts would revert to commissioners merely "considering" social value - potentially eliminating requirements entirely for thousands of contracts. This division disadvantages the VCSE sector while benefiting large corporations who can deliver at scale.Mandatory reporting of social value KPIs sounds promising, but again only applies to high-value contracts. The push toward standardised metrics creates a troubling tick-box approach that narrows the scope of social value primarily to employability outcomes. These standardised numerical values further advantage large businesses who can promise greater volume, regardless of whether those interventions genuinely address community needs.The location flexibility proposals aim to distribute social value more widely but may simply reshuffle where benefits are concentrated rather than ensuring equitable distribution. One potential bright spot exists in proposed changes to vulnerable citizens classifications, which could allow more quality-focused commissioning for social care services.The consultation risks further gamifying an already flawed system, where impressive numbers trump meaningful impact. If you care about genuine community benefit and creating a level playing field for smaller organisations, now is the time to speak up. Review the consultation, submit your feedback, and help shape a social value framework that works for everyone - not just those with the deepest pockets.You can find the consultation here:https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/public-procurement-growiWelcome to Make an Impact podcast, where we dive deep into the stories, strategies, and solutions that drive real change.

Send us a textEmma Smith, founder of Nia Avanna consultancy, reveals why community engagement is the crucial missing link in creating genuine social value. Drawing from her experience working with police forces and later in the private sector, Emma shares practical insights that challenge businesses to move beyond fear and embrace meaningful dialogue with their communities.The conversation dives into why many organisations struggle with engagement – often viewing it as opening a Pandora's box of complaints rather than an opportunity to strengthen relationships and improve operations. Emma dispels these fears with straightforward wisdom: "The issue is still there whether you've engaged or not. If you can be proactive about it, it can make such a difference."What makes this discussion particularly valuable is Emma's practical approach to a subject often wrapped in jargon and complexity. She explains that effective community engagement doesn't require massive investment or specialist skills – it simply demands willingness to listen and respond. This refreshing perspective transforms social value from a corporate obligation into an opportunity for meaningful connection.The episode tackles the disconnect between social value requirements in tenders and the reality of implementation. Emma highlights the challenge of promising specific initiatives years in advance without knowing what communities will actually need. Her solution? Start with your "why," build relationships before problems arise, and focus on creating lasting positive change rather than quick wins.Whether you're a business leader seeking to improve your community relationships, a public sector professional working on social value initiatives, or anyone interested in creating sustainable impact, this conversation offers valuable insights into making engagement work. By following Emma's guidance to "don't decide what's best for communities – go and ask them," we can all contribute to more meaningful social value creation.Ready to transform your approach to community engagement?

In dieser Folge spricht Patrick mit Jochen Krömer (Bereichsdirektor Marketing bei der Kreissparkasse Köln) und Lukas Dobstadt (Geschäftsführer von Social Value) über ein innovatives Format zur Förderung von Nachhaltigkeit: den KSK-Nachhaltigkeitspreis. Jochen und Lukas berichten, wie aus einem traditionellen Förderwettbewerb ein zukunftsorientiertes Projekt wurde, das sowohl Vereine als auch Betriebe anspricht und für das Thema Nachhaltigkeit sensibilisiert. Dabei wird deutlich, dass Nachhaltigkeit längst nicht mehr nur ein politisches Schlagwort ist, sondern in der Breite der Gesellschaft angekommen ist – ob im Tennisverein, im Mittelstandsunternehmen oder bei der freiwilligen Feuerwehr. Wir erfahren, wie der Wettbewerb aufgebaut wurde, wie über 43 Betriebe daran teilnahmen, welche Rolle Jury und Werbepakete spielen und welche beeindruckenden Projekte eingereicht wurden. Auch die begleitende Marktforschung mit fast 20.000 Rückmeldungen liefert spannende Erkenntnisse: Viele Menschen nehmen zwar das Engagement der Sparkasse wahr, unterschätzen aber deutlich dessen Umfang. Gemeinsam diskutieren wir, wie Sparkassen ihr gesellschaftliches Engagement künftig sichtbarer machen können – und warum Formate wie dieser Preis ein wichtiger Schritt in diese Richtung sind.

Driving more social value for people, communities and investors is not a corporate tick box exercise. It's a vital element for organizations that must increasingly demonstrate their purpose beyond profit, generating greater value for stakeholders and shareholders.Creating meaningful social value requires integrating a tailored social value strategy and an iterative mindset. To do this, you need the right mix of leadership, data-driven solutions and cross-sector expertise. When organizations make informed, responsible choices, they can drive growth, improve efficiency and enhance their reputation, all while creating long-term value for society and the environment.The two guests on this episode are celebrated for getting this mix right globally: Dr Mary-Kathryn Adams (known as MK), Chief Executive Officer of Simetrica-Jacobs, and Toyin Ogunfolaju, Director Social Value Americas at Jacobs.
In this conversation, Ted explores the evolving concept of masculinity in contemporary society, discussing the cultural, social, and political influences that shape male identity. They highlight the challenges young men face in finding role models and the impact of social media on perceptions of masculinity. The discussion also touches on the political landscape, examining how different parties address or fail to address the needs of men today. Ultimately, the conversation seeks to understand the future of masculinity and the importance of community and support in navigating modern relationships. In this conversation, the speakers explore the evolving concept of masculinity, emphasizing the importance of social value and societal frameworks in defining what it means to be a man. They discuss the consequences of a lack of guidance for young men, the need for strong male role models, and the balance between strength and responsibility.TakeawaysThe left has largely undermined the idea of masculinity.Change is inevitable, but growth is optional.Young men often feel pressured to hold onto their youth.Human beings need something to aim for to motivate themselves.Social media influences perceptions of masculinity.There is a lack of viable role models for young men today.The Republican Party offers a traditional view of masculinity.Cultural narratives shape young men's aspirations.The absence of positive male role models creates a vacuum.Navigating modern relationships requires renegotiating traditional roles. There's an appetite for a new model of masculinity.Men must create social value to be considered valuable.Identities are socially constructed and validated.A lack of guidance can lead to self-destructive behavior in men.Men need frameworks to channel their natural capacities.Strength in men should not be feared but guided.The dynamics of masculinity change with societal safety.Men must find purpose in service to their communities.Young men should seek to solve problems in their environment.Community and individual responsibility are intertwined.Connect with Dr Dante BryantWebsite: dbryan30Instagram: a_southernmanFree eBook Here: Mastering Self-Development: Strategies of the New Masculine: https://rebrand.ly/m2ebook⚔️JOIN THE NOBLE KNIGHTS MASTERMIND⚔️https://themodernmanpodcast.com/thenobleknights
A consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic is that workers increasingly want work that aligns with their values. Given that Gen Z, the next generation of accountants, is characterized by a focus on ESG issues, we use an experiment to test whether emphasizing sustainability assurance roles attracts individuals to the profession and which types of individuals are most attracted. We find individuals are more interested in becoming accountants when sustainability assurance positions are emphasized, relative to financial positions. We further find individuals with a prosocial (but not proself) social value orientation drive this result due to the greater intrinsic appeal of sustainability jobs to these individuals. We also find some evidence that prosocial individuals exhibit lower professional skepticism than proself individuals, highlighting a potential negative consequence of attracting prosocial individuals to the profession. Our findings illuminate how the accounting profession can attract prosocial individuals and one implication of doing so. Authors: Horne, Eric, Serena Loftus, Sarah Shonka McCoy, and Amanda M. Winn.

Dr. Richard Haier is an emeritus professor of Pediatric Neurology at UC Irvine, who spent his career studying the neuroscience of intelligence. Over the course of his career, Haier has come to believe in the existence of a “g-factor,” a measurable quantity of broad spectrum intelligence that is universally predictive of success in all cultures. He also believes that intelligence is a fixed characteristic, and that it's possible to predict someone's intelligence by watching how their brain works when trying to solve a puzzle. We sit down with him to figure out how far one can take this theory of intelligence before running headlong into a heartless social darwinism, why intelligence research feels so creepy, if IQ tests are actually measuring what we think they're measuring, if intelligence is really the thing that we should be optimizing for, and if it's possible for technology to make us dumber.

BARTEL ME SOMETHING GOOD returns with two films co-written by the man himself! We start with a rare oddity, the Paul Bartel-starring sex comedy(?) UTTERLY WITHOUT REDEEMING SOCIAL VALUE from 1969, also featuring Don Calfa and a guy who makes robotic art. FUN! Then we're finishing up with the totally bizarre, totally tasteless Police Academy.. uh.. spoof? from 1988 MORTUARY ACADEMY, which reunited Paul Bartel and Mary Woronov! How do we feel about it? It's complex! Listen! The post Episode 252 – Bartel Me Something Good – Utterly Without Redeeming Social Value (1969) & Mortuary Academy (1988) first appeared on Cinema Smorgasbord.
What does it take to succeed as a business while doing well by your employees? Harvard Business School professor emeritus Michael Beer has studied companies who invest in building long-term social value, and he says they offer some key lessons for other firms. In this episode, he breaks down how these companies set their strategies for new products and services. As he explains: “One of the key disciplines they have is what we called forging a strategic identity. So what does that mean? It means that they, first of all, start the process of deciding what they're going to do, what services or products they're going to offer…what markets they will go into…by first asking themselves, ‘Who are we?'
