When I reached out asking for support from contractors for non-perishable food items for a local charity, Maple got back to me very quickly with their support and was the first contractor to agree to support. Thank you!
SOCIAL
VALUE.
Making a difference, because we care.
OUR COMMITMENT
At Maple, social value is about creating lasting, positive impact beyond the buildings and spaces we help shape. It is part of how we work, how we support our people, and how we contribute to the communities around us.
Our approach is focused on meaningful, measurable activity, from supporting local charities and community projects, to creating opportunities for young people, investing in sustainability initiatives and helping clients deliver social value through their own projects.
We are committed to delivering social value that is practical, measurable and genuinely beneficial.
OUR PILLARS
Our social value strategy is built around three core pillars. These help us focus our activity, measure our impact and make sure our commitments are delivered consistently across the business.
SUSTAINABILITY
IMPROVING OUR ENVIRONMENT
Sustainability is a key part of Maple’s social value approach. We are committed to supporting environmental projects that improve local spaces, encourage biodiversity and contribute to a more responsible built environment.
Our activity includes tree planting, bug hotel installations, litter picks, biodiversity improvements and small-scale environmental projects delivered both corporately and in partnership with clients. These initiatives help us create measurable impact while supporting our wider sustainability commitments.
THE MAPLE FAMILY
SUPPORTING PEOPLE AND FUTURE TALENT
Our people are central to the way we deliver social value. Through volunteering, mentoring and skills-based opportunities, the Maple team plays an active role in supporting communities and helping others access the industry.
We are committed to creating opportunities for young people and future talent through T-Level placements, work experience, apprenticeships and vocational engagement. These activities help people gain practical insight into the workplace, develop skills and explore future careers in construction, design, engineering and manufacturing.
LOCAL COMMUNITIES
SUPPORTING THE PLACES AROUND US
We believe our work should create value for the communities we operate in. That means supporting local charities, schools, community groups and environmental organisations through practical action and meaningful contributions.
Our commitments include team volunteering days, seasonal donation drives, community clean-ups, food bank collections, hygiene pack donations, warm clothing drives and support for local causes. At project level, we also work with clients to identify opportunities that align with local priorities, such as community donations, sensory room contributions and the installation of defibrillators in public or community spaces.
The impact we make in the built environment is great, but hardly scratches the surface when compared to the impact we make in local communities. What we do is just the beginning of our commitment to transforming the lives of local families.
Maple provided funding for us to transform an old office into a sensory room. They also painted it and bought and installed flooring. As well as providing resources to set up an fibre optic curtain, soft play den, colour changing table, mirrors and a projector. This resource has been such a wonderful addition to the school and children’s centre, especially for our children with SEND.
