Systematized Review of the Concept of Social Return on Investment (SROI) and its Contribution to Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI)

Abstract

This research represents the second phase of the article titled "Systematized Review: Social Return on Investment and Its Contribution to the Efficient Management of Resources." Through an exploration of the background of the terms SROI and RRI, the study identifies the extent to which both concepts complement each other. Additionally, it presents a literature analysis in which cross-information matrices are constructed, highlighting methodological aspects, scope, and sectors. The interrelations between both terms are explored, justifying their connection. SROI and RRI are established as approaches that provide a complementary perspective for evaluating and managing investments from a social and environmental standpoint. Both concepts offer qualitative and quantitative tools that enable the measurement and communication of the value generated by investments aligned with social values.
