Social Value

A nature-based route to delivering jobs, climate action and healthier communities  across Greater Manchester. 

City of Trees helps major contractors deliver the jobs, skills and environmental commitments required by modern social-value procurement, using Greater Manchester’s growing green economy as the pathway. 

We turn environmental investment into measurable social value — creating local jobs, healthier communities, stronger neighbourhoods and greener, more resilient places.
