Social Return On Investment - The Principles

The Principles

There are seven principles of SROI. These are:

  1. Involve stakeholders (i.e. everyone who has a 'stake' or an interest in the subject of the SROI)
  2. Understand what changes (for those stakeholders)
  3. Value what matters (also known as the 'monetisation principle' - see below)
  4. Only include what is material
  5. Do not over-claim
  6. Be transparent
  7. Verify the result

Famous quotes containing the word principles:

    It must appear impossible, that theism could, from reasoning, have been the primary religion of human race, and have afterwards, by its corruption, given birth to polytheism and to all the various superstitions of the heathen world. Reason, when obvious, prevents these corruptions: When abstruse, it keeps the principles entirely from the knowledge of the vulgar, who are alone liable to corrupt any principle or opinion.

    David Hume (1711–1776)

    The scope of modern government in what it can and ought to accomplish for its people has been widened far beyond the principles laid down by the old “laissez faire” school of political rights, and the widening has met popular approval.
    William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
