FMJ Facilities Management magazine providing industry-specific intelligence to FM and property professionals
Arcus FM has reported the delivery of over £100 million in social value in its Social Value Report for the financial year 2023/24.
The calculation is driven by Government-backed Social Value Portal’s ‘National TOMs Framework’, used to measure the impact of social value efforts by businesses. For 2023-2024, the total monetary value added to society by Arcus’ initiatives amounted to £102,082,746.52, marking an increase of over £16 million from the previous year.
Multiple initiatives have contributed to Arcus FM’s performance in this area.
Arcus has increased its annual job offers to social value participants, providing 73 individuals from underrepresented groups with meaningful employment opportunities. This initiative focuses on young people, care leavers, ex-services personnel, and individuals with health conditions, helping them integrate into the workforce and gain valuable experience.
In a record-breaking year for the business, Arcus raised £9,346 through its annual Christmas raffle to support Whizz Kidz, a charity that provides customised wheelchairs to young wheelchair users. This contribution will help improve the mobility and independence of many children, making a tangible difference in their lives.
Demonstrating its commitment to sustainability, Arcus progressed to receive the SFMI (Sustainable Facilities Management Index) Gold Award. The company achieved a notable six per cent increase in the society sector, reflecting its dedication to making positive impact on the environment and communities.
