Quantifying a Sustainable Return on Investment

The subject of this report, the SROI model, serves as a complimentary tool intended to elevate the value capture of commonly used financial decision-making frameworks such as net present value, return on investment, and money on equity return, in order to incorporate the often overlooked, yet important benefits to society and the environment a project may generate. In capturing and monetizing these benefits to the greatest extent possible, this model begins to express the additional value previously unrecognized by typical analysis. The utility of this model makes it an exciting tool that would be well suited in the impact and environmental, social and governance (ESG) investing space.
