TRUST & SOCIAL VALUE FRAMEWORK

Assurance Tools for Community-Centric Infrastructure Planning

A Shift in Perspective
As the infrastructure landscape evolves, so does the need for transparency, equity, and meaningful community involvement. While EV charging and energy solutions are expanding fast, they can’t succeed without legitimacy and local trust. That’s where we come in — not as installers, but as framework builders and critical friends. We support councils, funders, and delivery partners in shaping socially aligned, resilient, and inclusive infrastructure.

What We Offer

📋 Infrastructure Alignment Reviews Independent, non-commercial due diligence for: - Council or regional infrastructure planning Community partnerships and funding bids - Social value compliance and impact tracking 

🤝 Process & Partnership Design We help shape: - Transparent governance models - Community revenue-sharing plans - Embedded local skills and engagement pathways 

📊 Insight & Feedback Tools Developing clear reporting frameworks to: - Track delivery against social aims - Support community feedback loops - Provide funder-ready documentation.

Community Organisations: Wanting fair involvement and co-ownership models.

Funders / National Programmes: Needing neutral assessment tools and audits.

Developers: Wishing to de-risk partnerships and build trust with local communities.

Our Role 

We’re not EV installers. We’re not tied to any one vendor. We are: - Neutral support for social value alignment - Community-informed and policy-aware - Focused on improving public trust, not selling hardware.
