The aim of Sustainability and Value is to support the delivery of a comprehensive programme of schemes which identify efficiencies that have a financial benefit, enabling the Board to achieve and maintain financial balance through effective management, control, innovation, quality and best practice.
Sustainability and Value was launched in 2022 expanding, improving and replacing the Financial Improvement programme, which to add is still an integral and component part within Sustainability and Value assisting the Board in achieving and maintaining financial balance.
What Does Sustainability and Value Do?
Sustainability and Value provides tactical support and guidance to directorates and departments in identifying the potential for efficiency improvements and removing waste from our ways of working. The programme is based on a proven methodology, and is underpinned by a comprehensive governance process and a programme management office (PMO).
