Social value is now a scored part of every central government bid. Do you know where you stand?
The Heaven Company specialises in Corporate Responsibility Governance and Sustainability. We help organisations connect ESG strategy to procurement performance, social value to commercial outcomes, and DEI to governance – so that responsible business becomes a competitive advantage.
Define it. Evidence it. Win with it.
Clients across a broad range of sectors – from health and social care to professional services, construction and education – benefit from tailored solutions that connect ESG and sustainability strategy directly to business performance.
Why us? Why now?
Sometimes you need to zoom out to see the bigger picture.
Sustainability commitments drive business growth, attract investors, influence consumer purchasing decisions and are vital to achieving the UK Government's net-zero target by 2050 – and to achieving true diversity and inclusion for society.
The single biggest challenge is threading together a cohesive, trackable ESG, social value and DEI plan that organisations can apply, evidence and deliver in a meaningful way.
That's the problem we solve.
With more than 20 years of experience leading Corporate Responsibility and ESG strategy, we know this territory from the inside.
As trusted business advisors across a range of sectors,
The Heaven Company has the knowledge, skills and experience to bring sustainability, social value and DEI commitments to life – connecting strategy to commercial outcomes and turning commitment into measurable, evidenced results.
Sustainability matters
Sustainability is an evolving story – and the regulatory landscape is moving faster than most boards have anticipated.
Social value is now a scored requirement in public procurement. ESG disclosures are tightening.
DEI expectations are embedded in governance frameworks.
The organisations pulling ahead are those that treat this not as a compliance burden – but as a strategic opportunity.
We help our clients anticipate the changes, evidence their position, and use it to win.
KNOW-HOW
Sustainability has become a business imperative. Our know-how is built on more than
20 years of hands-on CR Governance, ESG and social value delivery – working with business leaders and senior managers across a broad range of sectors.
BESPOKE SOLUTIONS
We create tailored solutions that connect responsible business practice to commercial outcomes – evidencing social value, strengthening DEI governance, and communicating your position effectively to the audiences that matter most.
COMMERCIAL REALISM
