Social value
Creating opportunity through work
At ISS, social value begins with people. Across the environments we support every day, we create opportunities for employment, development and community impact — helping people build careers while strengthening the communities where we operate.
Work that creates opportunity
As one of the world’s largest employers in facilities services, ISS has a unique ability to create meaningful employment at scale.
From hospitals and schools to workplaces and manufacturing environments, our teams support organisations that keep society moving. At the same time, we create pathways into employment for people who may otherwise face barriers to opportunity.
By investing in our people, supporting local employment and working with community partners, we ensure that the value created through our services reaches far beyond the buildings we operate.
Mission Possible
Mission Possible is ISS’ flagship social mobility programme. Through targeted partnerships with community organisations, training providers and charities, the initiative creates pathways into employment for individuals who may otherwise face barriers to work.
By focusing on skills development, mentoring and meaningful job opportunities, Mission Possible helps people build confidence, gain experience and establish long-term careers — demonstrating how employment can transform lives and strengthen communities.
Inclusive employment
A workplace where everyone can belong
ISS is committed to creating an inclusive workplace where people from all backgrounds feel respected, supported and able to succeed.
We actively promote diversity, inclusion and equality across our workforce — recognising that diverse teams bring new perspectives and strengthen the environments we serve.
Skills and careers
Building capability for the future
From apprenticeships and early careers programmes to leadership development, ISS invests in training that helps our people grow their skills and build lasting careers.
These opportunities support both individual development and the long-term resilience of the communities where we operate.
Community impact
Supporting the communities we serve
ISS works closely with local partners, charities and community organisations to ensure our presence creates positive impact.
By supporting local initiatives and encouraging employee volunteering, we help strengthen the communities connected to the workplaces we manage.
Social value through everyday work
Social value is not separate from the services we deliver. It is embedded in how ISS operates — from the way we recruit and develop our people to the way we partner with customers and communities.
Through this approach, ISS helps organisations create workplaces that are not only efficient and sustainable, but also socially responsible.
Increasingly, organisations — particularly in the public sector — expect their partners to demonstrate meaningful social value through employment, skills development and community impact. ISS supports customers in meeting these expectations by embedding social value into the way services are delivered across their estates.
Because when people are given the opportunity to thrive, communities grow stronger and workplaces perform better.
