Aaron is helping translate Ventia’s purpose, ‘making infrastructure work for communities’, into practical actions that deliver better outcomes for people, communities and the business. He leads procurement-driven social value, turning policy intent into measurable, enforceable outcomes without compromising commercial or delivery performance. He is currently GM Social Value at Ventia, with over 30 years‘ experience across the UK and Australia in sustainable procurement, social value measurement, and inclusive workforce and supply-chain reform.
He co-founded and co-chairs the Australian Social Value Taskforce, which developed the Global TOM System for Australia, used to define, compare, and manage social value in procurement. Aaron also played a pivotal role in the relaunch of the Supply Chain Sustainability School in Australia a collaboration to create free sustainability learning materials for non sustainability professionals.
His work focuses on moving social value from intent to impact through clear contract requirements, robust measurement, and evidence-first reporting.
Aaron believes in the need for radical collaboration because there is no one organisation or government who can solve the challenges of sustainability alone and there’s nothing to be gained by competing on issues such as climate resilience, social equity or ethical supply chains.
