CAN Impact reporting

CAN Impact is our Social Return on Investment (SROI) reporting - an innovative way to measure and account for the value you create with your work. As well as helping organisations account for their achievements and attract funding, CAN Impact can also help organisations maximise their social impact and improve the lives of the people they work with.

SROI is a framework for understanding, measuring and managing the outcomes of an organisation's activities. SROI can encompass all types of outcomes - social, economic and environmental - but it is based on involving stakeholders in determining which outcomes are relevant.  It uses monetary values to tell a story of how change is being created by measuring the social, environmental and economic outcomes of your business.

CAN Impact is about value, rather than money.

While the ratio is important, SROI is about much more than this. A good SROI presents a story of change, including both qualitative and quantitative findings, and provides information to help organisations maximise their outcomes.  The ratio should always be understood in the context of the whole analysis.
