Definitions and Methodology
Total Investment Required to Date
• Represents all cash injections in the business
Change in Societal Contribution (Target Employees)
• Difference between the direct societal “cost” or “benefit” contributed by the employee before hire versus after hire
Ongoing Portion of Societal Contribution
• The component of the change in financial position that can be measured beyond year one
Annuity Multiplier
• Projected value of ongoing new income tax contributions generated by target employee in the future
Current Year SROI
• Return on investment generated by the current year change in target employee financial position
Projected Long Term SROI
• SROI generated by extrapolating the ongoing portion of the change in employee financial position into the future
Total operating losses + Grants and Subsidies + Additional Support Infrastructure
= Total Investment Required
Annual Social Assistance Before Hire - Annual Income Tax Paid Before Hire + Annual Income Tax Paid After Hire
= Change in Societal Contribution
Annual Income Tax Paid After Hire - Annual Income Tax Before Hire
= Ongoing Portion of Societal Contribution
Total Change in Societal Contribution / Total Investment Required
=Current Year SROI
Ongoing Portion of Societal Contribution * Annuity Multiplier / Total investment Required
=Projected Long Term SROI
Data Gathering Process
• Target employees are interviewed to obtain a baseline socioeconomic data
• Data is gathered regarding employment and sustainable livelihood status prior at hire
• A second survey is taken at the end of each year to determine changes for target employees
• Only target employees who are employed for more than three months are considered for SROI calculations
SROI Report Card: Year End 2003
• Note: For purposes of clarity, we distinguish between the average number of target employees employed in ICR’s first year of operation (18.5) versus the number of target employees (11) used in the sample group for ICR’s Year One SROI Report Card. For our first foray into establishing a SROI Report Card for ICR, we only extrapolated the socio-economic data from those target employees (11) who had worked at ICR for at least one year. Our hypothesis was that a one year employment term was a sufficiently conservative timeframe from which to calculate ICR’s SROI. As this is a work in progress, we have also included the possible SROI for the average number of target employees working at ICR (18.5) in its first year. If we assume no additional (positive) social returns for the remaining 7.5 employees, the SROI for the average number of target employees employed over ICR’s first year would remain at 41%. If we assume the additional 7.5 achieve the same social return as the sample group, the SROI would increase to 68%.
• The Annuity Multiplier – or the projected value of ongoing new income tax contributions generated by target employees in the future – was based on a 15 year working career and a corresponding 5% discount rate.
• Over the next several months, SCP will continue to work with ICR and other social enterprises in our investment portfolio to implement and refine this methodology. After we have gained more experience, we will produce and share a more in-depth and explanatory document that outlines our rationale and provides more detail on the methodological constructs we are using the our SROI reporting.
