Our social impact

Ingeus provides services for people, businesses and communities to create and improve employment, skills, health and wellbeing and we strive to deliver social impact through maximising the impact of our core services, as well as delivering social value within each contract we operate.

Our approach is based around our 6Ps (performance, profit, people, possibilities, protection and participants) balanced scorecard and is strongly aligned with the United Nations’ (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), in particular:

  • Goal #3: Good health and wellbeing through promotion of mental health and rehabilitation services
  • Goal #5: Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls
  • Goal #8: Decent work and economic growth through promoting sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all
  • Goal #10: Reduce inequalities within and amongst countries through Ingeus’ extensive work with people living with disability, illness and injury, and improving access to labour markets for people from vulnerable and disadvantaged populations.

Working across all business areas, including employment, health, justice and youth, our approach involves collaborating with partners including government, business, not-for-profits and social enterprises to enable better lives for the long-term and improve positive outcomes for all.
