The European Action Plan for the Social Economy is a relevant document for better understanding the trends we will see in Europe's future years concerning impact generation and evaluation.
The social economy complements Member States' action in cost-effectively delivering quality social services and contributes to implementing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) at the EU and global levels.
The Recovery and Resilience Facility provides the Member States significant opportunities to implement reforms and investments through social and inclusive entrepreneurship. Moreover, some Member States have reflected the social economy and inclusive entrepreneurship as priorities in their national recovery and resilience plans.
However, some of this potential is still under-exploited. The social economy remains unknown to too many people. Many consumers want to buy more responsibly in terms of the sources of goods and services but do not necessarily know how.
Another important point is the possibility of the patient, long-term investment capital that is not always readily available to social economy entities.
To optimize the potential of the social economy in the Single Market, more should be done to replicate successful experiences across the Member States and, where possible, to help social enterprises grow from local to European, including through digital tools.
The action plan seeks to enhance social innovation, support the development of the social economy and boost its social and economic transformative power.
In this respect, the panels propose some general reflections and some relevant questions.

One of the challenges around measuring and defining wellbeing, is that the concept of "wellbeing" itself means many different things to many different people. However, despite this, there are many examples of social impact initiatives that have led to increased wellbeing around in the world.

What is the next steps for accreditation, certification, assurance and verification within the social value and impact management profession? How can professionalisation of the sector through assurance, accreditation and certification of process, people, practice, and data help? Are the impact norms being embedded leading to the need for more accreditation services? As organisations make more decisions based on this area, does assurance get more necessary to decrease risks associated? What is the role of accreditation and certification in addressing these issues? How and what needs to be accredited? Certified? When is it the right time?
This session will focus on discussing these questions in the context of current practice examples shared by our speakers, and including active participation and sharing of practice from the community of attendees.

Sophie Robin, Co-Founder, EsImpact and Stone Soup

How can social Impact Measurement and Management (IMM) practices shape organisations? What can organisations learn? How do the results of IMM influence the way organisations design and implement their strategies and operations?
Two inspirational speakers will share how IMM has provided learning and shaped decisions. Erica will speak from the perspective of an Italian foundation that deals with train and coach a new generation of impact entrepreneurs in Africa, leveraging partnerships between universities, companies and institutions and Awerangi will provide insights from the work of Whānau Ora in New Zealand.
Speakers will be asked how the new SVI Standard: Be Responsive can help accelerate more learning and impact led decisions.
Attend this session to be inspired and also share your experiences about how IMM practices are shaping your decision making.

Social value is about understanding changes to people’s lives and its effect on their wellbeing. Even is wellbeing not a new area for us working with social value, this is a new and fast-moving area of policy, practice and economics further afield.
Social value banks have been around for a while and have served a useful purpose but can be problematic. There are crucial steps to measuring social value in line with the new guidance – the need to ask those you are working with, and are therefore affected, to reveal the impact of your project.
This step can be skipped all too easily with value banks, which is a big problem for the social value movement. The result is and will be that this important sector with the potential to create a more progressive society could start to lose credibility and trust. This risks incentivising organisations to ‘play the value bank game’ rather than optimise the social value they create, or at the heart make people’s lives better!
This session will with an overview of policy developments in the UK and in practice healthcare case studies from Italy as a conversation opener offer an interactive session for attendees with the facilitators discuss how we from our various perspectives can work to define, understand and measure social value. And how to do it credibly and robustly.
Speakers:
Charlotte Österman, Private Sector Lead, Social Value UK
Maria Giulia Marini, Health Area Director, ISTUD
Paola Chesi, Researcher and educator: Healthcare and Wellbeing Area, ISTUD

Frontrunning businesses already started to implement value accounting, but to accelerate change across the whole economy, business (including finance), and governments need to have a joint understanding of value, and governments need to create an enabling environment for business to apply value accounting.
Capitals Coalition will run a workshop on how business and policy could work together to create an accounting system that is a force-for-good. It will show examples how business is taking actions and governments are creating an enabling environment and will explore what can be learned from that to progress the ambition of the social value community.
Speakers:
David Thomas, Communications Manager, Capitals Coalition
Jeremy Nicholls, Assurance Framework Lead of UNDP SDG Impact and Ambassador of Capitals Coalition

This workshop looks at how several of Social Value Aotearoa Network members have been using the social value principles as a change framework to help build an organisational culture of having social impact at its heart.
As part of a capacity development strategy they have taken a longer term approach to measuring value so that it is embedded and integrated as part of the performance management culture of their organisations.
A variety of tools and resources have been co-designed with and for front line staff, to help them understand and integrate the practices into their work.
We will share with you this ‘kiwi’ approach which use a variety of mediums, based on best practice but delivered with a splash of humour. You’ll also get the chance to develop your own tools there and then.
We will also collectively discuss alternative approaches that you may have or areas that could be developed as we all seek to ensure Social Value Matters and bring it mainstream.
Speakers:
Jo Nicholson, Director, Social Value Aotearoa
Jacqui Harema, Director Whānau Ora, Te Whānau o Waipareira

This session explores the fundamental question: ‘what is the purpose of social impact assessments’? The speakers present two lines of thought and then uses a workshop format to explore the potential alignment and contradictions. The first line of thought is that social impact assessments are a form of (social science) research/evaluation. This touches on theory of ‘knowledge building’, evidence based policy making’ and transferable knowledge. The second line of thought is that social impact assessments are a form of internal business improvement mechanisms. This explores the issues of rigour, accountability and internal decision making.
Participants will learn about the new SVI Principle: Be Responsive and develop their thinking about the purpose behind their impact data collection.
Speakers:
Ben Carpenter, CEO, Social Value International
Erica Melloni, Senior Manager, Change, Avanzi

In the investment industry, impact is the new black. It’s a fashionable label, sounds very smart and innovative – but does it create real social value? How do investors and asset managers define, measure and account social impact? How can stakeholders be guaranteed that the concept of social impact is genuinely applied and not abused for marketing reasons?
The session will first provide a state-of-the art analysis of the market dynamics and will then deep dive into the main methodological approaches adopted by investors to evaluate social value across the whole investment cycle.
The discussion will focus on the most effective measures that should be taken to prevent the risk of green or blue-washing and to encourage transparency and effectiveness.

Alessia Gianoncelli, Head of Knowledge Community and Market Development , EVPA
Bonnie Chiu, Managing Director, The Social Investment Consultancy
