options trader Shared value is defined as policies and practices that enhance the competitiveness of companies while improving social and environmental conditions in the regions where they operate. It is a business strategy focused on companies creating measurable economic benefit by identifying and addressing social problems that intersect with their business. To qualify as shared value, there must be an identifiable economic benefit to the company as well as measurable impact on a social or environmental issue.
The shared value concept was defined in ‘Creating Shared Value’, an article by Prof Michael Porter and Mark Kramer in the Harvard Business Review (January/February 2011). The framework creates new opportunities for companies, civil society organisations, and governments to leverage the power of market-based competition in addressing social problems, and has grown rapidly from a global idea to a form of business practicing at its best, adopted by leading global and Australasian companies.
The establishment of the formal shared value concept came at a time post Global Financial Crisis when capitalism and the reputation of business were under siege. The concept acknowledges the importance of business, with its capital, market access, scale and capacity for innovation, and its capability of having a meaningful impact on societal problems.
Shared value considers the social dimension of a company, the relationship between its people, assets, products, services, investments and systems to external stakeholder groups such as communities, suppliers and supply chains, customers and regulators. Ultimately shared value recognises that the creation of both social and economic value as a competitive advantage which can drive innovation and support the long-term adaptation and prosperity of the company.
Shared value can be created through different roles and business functions, from supply chain management and research and development to community engagement and sales. It is therefore a centralised strategy, embedded in whole of business planning, and requires reconsideration of employee roles and teams.
Examples of social or societal value include improved health, education, access, community participation and employment.
Economic value can take the form of increased and sustainable financial returns, brand equity, market share, consistency of supply, or lower risks, as well as more loyal employees, customers, shareholders and investors.

- Sharing the value already created
- Personal values
- Employee engagement
- Corporate value systems (although it may inform them)
- Balancing stakeholder interests (community or stakeholder engagement)
Shared value is not philanthropy or corporate social responsibility (CSR), because in these cases an organisation’s social contributions are not necessarily intrinsic to business value.

Shared value places societal problems at the core of business objectives. In some instances corporate social responsibility has created shared value. However, the hallmarks of CSR practice have become:
- A sense of obligation to ‘give back’
- A focus on reporting to demonstrate good corporate citizenship
- Immediate or medium term public relations outcomes
- Investment in social programs that are viewed as important to reputation but not core to growth strategy
- Still pursuing profit with the spirit of the law and ethical norms, restraining certain activity
