Opportunities for social value
Community Benefits in Construction
Community Benefit Agreements (CBAs) are agreements which seek to achieve community benefits from infrastructure and development projects. CBAs are collaboratively designed and implemented between communities, the construction sector and government. The community benefits are selected so projects enhance social, cultural, environmental, and economic opportunities for and with community and can fall into the categories of inclusive employment, skills and training, local procurement, and social procurement.
Through social procurement policies and community benefit agreements many governments, developers and other organisations across the world are aligning their purchases and investments with their strategic objectives and goals. CBAs seek social value outcomes from construction and infrastructure investments.
