Start your Social Return on Investment Journey

Information about where investment is going, who it is reaching and how it is making a long-term difference to people’s lives is a critical tool for confident decision-making. Social Return on Investment provides a standardised framework for investors and funders to explore these questions with real data from communities, government and academia.

What is Social Return on Investment?

Social Return on Investment (SROI) compares the estimated social value of a programme to its cost. It provides a data-driven, comparable way to measure how you make a difference in people’s lives.
