The Rail Social Value Tool

The Rail Social Value Tool (RSVT) enables rail organisations to measure and track the social value of their activities, including impacts on health, safety, economy, and communities. Developed specifically for the rail industry by Loop, RSSB, and Network Rail, it provides timely insights, encourages information sharing, and helps organisations maximise positive social impact.

 

Log in to access the RSVT. If you are a supply chain user designated by a client organisation, you do not require separate registration.
