Public value refers to the value created by government through its actions including through providing services, developing and enforcing laws and regulation and developing and implementing policies and programs.
Social value refers to the positive value created, beyond core business aims, for the economy, local communities, the environment and society.

In this brief we refer to social value created by governments recognising the need to address the broader impact of policies and programs.
