SROI Article:
Globally, some 64% of people want brands to integrate good causes into the very fiber and daily operations of the business. Social Return On Investment is all the more important, therefore, because it is necessary for brands to prove and communicate specific details regarding the social-economic value they have created for designated communities. And also quantify and report how these advantages will be sustained overtime. Return On Investment is a familiar performance indicator that conveys the financial value that a brand has created. Invest a dollar in a project and get more in return, within a reasonable time frame, then the project is deemed successful. Similarly, Social Return On Investment (SROI) demonstrates a brand’s social impact on a community of activity, while also specifying or inferring the financial value of this social measure as well. SROI vividly points out, consequently, that the kind of value that any enterprise creates goes beyond a financial accounting measure. If strategic and tactical business decisions are to be balanced and exhaustive, they must make note of a brand’s civic or social effects as well.
