Commitment to social value.

At O’Connell Contracting, we are dedicated to aligning our operations and initiatives with the social value criteria established by the National TOMs (Themes, Outcomes, and Measures) framework. This alignment ensures that we not only meet but exceed the standards for delivering social value within our communities.

The National TOMs framework provides a comprehensive approach to measuring and maximising the social impact of our activities. By adhering to these criteria, we commit to:

• Promoting Economic Sustainability: We support local employment, apprenticeships, and training programs, fostering economic growth and resilience within our communities.

• Enhancing Social Wellbeing: Our projects and initiatives are designed to improve the quality of life for local residents, addressing social issues and promoting inclusivity.

• Environmental Responsibility: We prioritise sustainable practices in all our operations, working to minimize our environmental footprint and promote green initiatives.

• Local Community Engagement: We actively engage with community stakeholders to ensure our efforts are aligned with local needs and priorities, enhancing community cohesion and empowerment.

• Innovation and Collaboration: We seek out innovative solutions and collaborative partnerships that drive positive social change and contribute to the broader social value agenda.

Past Projects.

Our commitment to these principles is evident in our past projects, which include:

• Local Workforce Development: Employing local workers and apprentices on major construction sites, providing valuable skills and experience.

• Supporting Local Businesses: Partnering with local suppliers and subcontractors to boost the regional economy.

• Urban Greening Initiatives: Planting thousands of trees in urban areas across London, improving air quality and providing natural habitats for wildlife.

• Community Clean-Up Campaigns: Organising regular litter-picking events to keep neighborhoods clean and engage residents in environmental stewardship.

• Educational Support: Donating materials and providing volunteers for school renovation projects, enhancing educational facilities for local children.

By integrating these principles into our business strategy, we aim to create lasting, positive impacts that benefit society as a whole. Our commitment to the National TOMs framework confirms our dedication to being a responsible and socially-conscious organisation.
