Cooperative Impact Assessment and Social Return on Investment

Thesis Abstract

This research project aims to explore the impact assessment methodologies used by cooperative enterprises and evaluate their social return on investment (SROI). The study will investigate the various ways in which cooperatives measure and assess their social impact, and analyze the effectiveness of these methods in quantifying the value created for different stakeholders. By conducting a comprehensive review of existing literature and case studies, the project seeks to provide insights into the best practices for assessing cooperative impact and calculating SROI. The findings of this research will contribute to a better understanding of the social value generated by cooperative enterprises and provide practical guidance for improving impact assessment practices within the cooperative sector.
