About
RealWorth is a social value consultancy that works in the UK, mainland Europe and North America.
We have a unique blend of skills which combines academic rigour with commercial expertise, helping our clients create better and more sustainable outcomes for their organisations and wider society.
We support our clients to make positive, lasting and measurable changes to people’s lives.
Our Beliefs
The built environment can and should be used more effectively as a force for good to:
Better serve a wider range of people
Enhance social equity
Improve inclusion and community cohesion
We know that:
Carefully considering people’s lived experiences throughout planning, design and occupation improves decision-making and creates outcomes that are better for everyone
Responsible planning and decision-making provide better, lower risk, longer-term financial returns for commissioners and investors
We support our clients to make positive, lasting, measurable change to people's lives.
How?
We use a stakeholder and person-centred approach to help our clients understand and optimise the impacts that they have.
A key facet of our method is to encourage and enable our clients to build their own knowledge and capacity in social value. We understand that the process can appear complex, so in each project, we strive to demystify it by combining a range of widely adopted, publicly available tools, data, and approaches that are easy to understand.
To demonstrate the changes in peoples lived experiences, we use the OECD Better Life Index's '11 factors of wellbeing', and utilise an array of social value measurement tools.
Want to demystify social value and be better for everyone? We can help you:
Behave more responsibly and amplify the the ‘S’ in ESG, in order to achieve greater success and win more work
Simplify and improve measurement and reporting by focusing on real peoples lived experiences
Understand and keep ahead of legislation in preparation for evidencing outcomes
Implement social value frameworks and reporting requirements.
Develop simple tools to build your resilience to future market changes.
B Corp Status
In the early stages of our own social impact journey, we recognised the importance of demonstrating to our colleagues, clients, partners, suppliers, and the communities we interact with that we ‘walk the walk’ when it comes to our values. Back in 2021, we decided that the most rigorous and widely recognised test for this was to apply for B Corp Certification.
Since becoming a B Corp in 2022, we have learned so much about how to continuously improve our practices to create better outcomes for everyone. The B Corp community has been a true source of inspiration, pushing us to do even better. We recertified in 2025, improving our original certification score by five points, demonstrating our commitment to continuous improvement and the B Corp movement. See our B Corp page here.
Two of our colleagues play an active role as Co-Chairs in their respective B Locals - place-based communities of B Corps that support both certified companies and those exploring certification. We are proud of our progress, yet we know there’s always room for improvement, and remain committed to optimising our impact in the coming years.
