The Launch: The Sustainability Value Collective Kicks Off!
By Gareth Presch, Founder, CEO, World Health Innovation Summit
I am thrilled to announce the official kick-off of our exciting new collective work today: The Sustainability Value Collective (SVC). This shared platform marks a major step forward in translating our vision for health and sustainability into tangible, scalable results.
For too long, sustainability-led change has struggled to move from concept to impact because it doesn’t happen in isolation. Real insight compounds when organisations share standards, language, and learning over time. The SVC exists precisely to support that compounding effect, strengthening execution quality, credibility, and long-term relationships across the entire ecosystem.
More Than a Content Hub The SVC is far more than a simple content hub. It operates as the long-term knowledge and capability layer supporting the foundational Sustainability Value Framework™. While DJK Global operates as the independent enterprise advisory firm delivering decision-grade sustainability work, the SVC extends this through a shared ecosystem and platform. The purpose of the Collective is to provide the critical foundations for systemic change:
- Governance
- Implementation
- Technology
- Compliance
- Transformation
- Measurement
- Accreditation
- Delivery You can hear more about this ecosystem through The Value Collective Podcast, which serves as the voice of the movement.
WHIS as the Springboard to Scale As I’ve said, WHIS is the springboard, and an engine for ideas, an innovation driver, and a catalyst for those ideas to grow around the world. Our core work in creating opportunities, partnerships, visibility, and momentum is exactly what is needed. The Sustainability Value Collective and DJK Global shape the capability ecosystem that helps turn that momentum into tangible programmes, outcomes, and impact. They structure, implement, govern, and scale the opportunities created by WHIS and the Global Social Prescribing Alliance (GSPA) into aligned programmes. This synergy allows us to move from innovative models to successful, long-term programs across areas like:
- Global Health: Preventative health initiatives
- WHIS Tech and digital health programmes, complemented by compliance, governance, and accreditation capability
- Social prescribing and GSPA initiatives requiring scalable delivery models and impact measurement
- Capability development programmes, including the Academy and accreditation
- Social impact, philanthropy, and investment-backed programmes that require governance, measurable outcomes, and funding readiness This collective work is essential. The springboard is already there; now, with the launch of the Sustainability Value Collective, we are building the landing gear to ensure successful execution. I genuinely believe we are only scratching the surface of what’s possible.
