Social Asset Measurements

In the last decade, investors and grantors have placed increasing emphasis on social impact reporting when deciding where to put funds. This has led to methods such Social Return on Investment and Social Impact Assessment. However, all of these techniques are focused on providing investors with information on what organizations are effective investments. This leaves social organizations ‘flying blind’ when making strategic decisions about resource allocation. SAM provides clear data on social and financial cost and benefit, so that every dollar and every person can be used to their maximum potential.

Southern Exposure Renewable Energy Inc.

Southern Exposure Renewable Energy produces clean solar energy and feeds it to the main power grid to make it accessible to Ontario consumers. To make this happen, we partner with industrial and commercial property owners who would like to host photovoltaic panel systems on their vacant roof tops to generate electricity. Southern Exposure also provides opportunities for investing in clean energy projects. These investments earn a solid, safe return and also help create a sustainable future. The generated electricity is sold to the Ontario Power Authority and the revenue earned will be shared among ourselves, the investors and roof owners.
