Iarnród Éireann Irish Rail is delivering a record investment programme: new fleets, electrification and the DART+ expansion of the Dublin network. The company has decided this spending should do more than build a railway, embedding social value into procurement so that every contract can return benefit to the communities the railway serves.
To tell that story, Iarnród Éireann made this video about their social value work and the part Thrive plays in it.
In the video, Seán McCaffrey, Supplier Performance and Sustainability Manager, explains why the work matters in an Ireland where one in nine people live in poverty, and why systematic measurement beats ad hoc effort.
Then, Ashleigh Cochrane, Customer Success Manager at Thrive, describes how the platform and the Impact Evaluation Standard turn activity into measurable value, using Irish-specific proxy values developed with Iarnród Éireann rather than imported off the shelf. Watch their video below:
