What it means for a business to ‘create value’ is changing. It is no longer enough to consider Financial Capital alone. Both customers and investors expect to see a company’s impact on society and the environment reflected in its overall performance. Through ofi’s case study on Social Capital Impact Valuation, our Finance for Sustainability and coffee experts Rishi Kalra Ria Bakshi Harriet Divis Jeremy Dufour and Stefannie C. assessed specific income generation related interventions for Coffee farmers in Honduras using the Social Return on Investment (SROI) framework. The SROI of 8:1 signifies the societal value we are creating through our farmer segmentation approach and how it is correlated with long-term value to ofi. The program aims to narrow the living income gap of approximately 1,000 coffee farmers. Combining key learnings with knowledge-sharing through partnerships with our key stakeholders will improve access to data which could help us tailor interventions to specific needs. We will continue to make a case for social investments to deliver maximum social value on the ground.#impactmateriality #socialreturns #partnershipsforsocialgood #F4Shttps://lnkd.in/e_3cRkiB
