Integrated Annual Report 2020-21
Value creation model
We are committed to integrated thinking as part of our strategic plan and our drive for organisational excellence. We continue our journey to adopt the principles of integrated reporting in this year’s annual report. Our value creation model (VCM) is at the heart of our integrated thinking and reporting. Our model continuously evolves and our vignettes highlight our commitment to ensure we are sustaining and adding value for all our stakeholders.
Our VCM is at the centre of our strategic objectives, with sustainability, student and staff satisfaction and research and learning running through all the outputs. Over the last year, we have further embedded the UN SDGs within our strategic objectives and aligned them to the key outputs of our model.
HOW DO WE CREATE VALUE? We deliver impact for society and have a strategic target to foster stronger recruitment from groups currently under-represented in higher education, by working to raise aspirations and break down barriers to participate, such as those created by culture, geography, social and economic factors.
