We don't just see the data - we see the bigger picture.
At Simetrica-Jacobs, we believe that better decisions lead to better outcomes. That's why we work with organisations to help them understand impact, invest wisely, and make better business decisions. We recognise the growing pressures organisations face today: finite resources, increased demands to achieve more with less, and the critical understanding that today's decisions will shape communities and society for generations to come. That's why we go beyond traditional economic and accounting models, offering holistic approaches that drive meaningful social change.
Whether you refer to it as social value, corporate responsibility, sustainability, equity, or community development, we are focused on helping our clients understand how their projects, programmes, and investments create lasting impact on individuals, communities, and society as a whole. Our mission is to empower clients - whether governments, international organisations, or private businesses - who are serious about maximising their impact. We provide the insights to inform smarter decisions, optimise resources, quantify and communicate impact, and use these insights to reduce inequalities, enhance opportunities, and foster both social and economic development.
As trusted leaders in social value measurement, wellbeing research, equity analysis, and survey design, we combine rigorous methodologies with cutting-edge data science and cross-sector expertise to delivery insights that are both robust and actionable. Our approaches align with international standards, including those set by the OECD - many of which we've helped shape. We simplify the complex ecosystem of tools, frameworks, and approaches, empowering clients to develop strong strategies, make the right decisions the first time, and focus on measuring what matters most.
By partnering with us, you gain more than just insights - you gain the confidence to act decisively, knowing that your decisions are grounded in evidence and designed for lasting positive impact. At Simetrica-Jacobs, we believe that profitability and social value are not opposing forces but complementary goals. When organisations make informed, responsible choices, they can drive growth, improve efficiency, and enhance their reputation, all while creating long-term value for society and the environment. We help you deliver tangible business benefits while simultaneously contributing to a better, more sustainable future.
