Ecological initiatives: social effect evaluation

Rozhdestvenskaia N.V. , Boguslavskaya S. B.

One of the most versatile methods is Social Return On Investment (SROI). This method is applicable to social value as produced either by NGOs, social entrepreneurs or civic initiatives.

This article addresses specific issues of SROI evaluation as applied to ecological projects and initiatives.
