About
Martin, Babcock International and Toby, Plymouth City Council
Babcock, one of the major employers of the city are one of the Plymouth Charter's founding signatories. One of the themes of the Charter is 'Spend 4 Plymouth', with it's aim to keep local businesses spending more pounds locally, committing to keeping a 'fairer, greener Plymouth.'
Babcock participated in a hackathon with Plymouth City Council to utilize data in order to recognize and comprehend social value challenges in the city. The dashboard that was created has been shared with other employers in the Spend 4 Plymouth network, aiding employers in making well-informed choices regarding social value.
This work has since been awarded 'The Institute of Analytics data for social good' award.
