Social Return on Investment

Social Return on Investment (SROI) is a way to measure the broader social, environmental, and economic benefits generated by a project or organization relative to the resources invested. Unlike traditional financial return, SROI captures the positive changes and impacts, such as improved well-being, community development, or environmental sustainability. It translates these intangible benefits into monetary terms, allowing stakeholders to understand the value created beyond profits. Essentially, SROI helps demonstrate how efforts contribute to societal good in a way that complements financial analysis, supporting informed decision-making and accountability.
