Jacobs<\/a> has acquired a 50% share in Simetrica<\/a>, a UK-based organisation that specialises in social value measurement and wellbeing analysis<\/h2>\n

Under the new partnership, Simetrica will provide its cutting-edge expertise to increase existing capabilities and offerings in the areas of socio-economics, sustainability and environmental services<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In response to increasing client demand driven by the Public Services (Social Value) Act<\/a> in the UK, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development\u2019s (OECD) Inclusive Growth Initiative<\/a> and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals<\/a> (SDGs), Jacobs and Simetrica are developing new best practices and solutions related to social value and wellbeing principles.<\/p>\n

Jacobs Buildings and Infrastructure Europe, Middle East and Africa, senior vice president and general manager, Donald Morrison, said: \u201cOur partnership with Simetrica will enable us to help our clients understand how they can transform local, city and regional decision-making \u2013 identifying innovative, inclusive and ethical investments that will drive social change, spread prosperity and meet the growing challenges facing communities.\u201d<\/p>\n

Using Simetrica\u2019s methods, techniques and tools, investment decisions in both the public and private sectors can be re-imagined and assessed in more comprehensive and rigorous ways to maximise the value that they generate for communities and society. <\/p>\n

Simetrica director, Daniel Fujiwara, said: \u201cThis is an exciting time for Simetrica. Over the past decade we have made significant contributions to the methodology and uptake of social value analysis in the UK and globally.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith Jacobs\u2019 investment and partnership, we can further our impact by employing our cutting-edge methods to a wider range of sectors and clients to drive change across priorities such as mobility, connectivity and placemaking, increasing their social impact and making them more sustainable.\u201d<\/p>\n
