Social return on investment is a framework for assessing the broader social, environmental and economic value created by an activity relative to the resources invested, expressing that value, as far as possible, in monetary terms so that it can be compared with the investment. It seeks to capture outcomes that conventional financial measures overlook, such as improvements in wellbeing, independence or social inclusion, by engaging stakeholders to identify what changes matter and estimating their value. In healthcare it can articulate the wider value of interventions whose benefits extend beyond direct clinical or cash-releasing effects. Because it involves valuing intangible outcomes, transparency about the assumptions, evidence and methods used is essential to its credibility.
