Return is the surplus of the money amount received back from an investment, compared with the initial amount invested.  
(ROSI).


Or the surplus of the current value, over and above the initial amount invested.
ROSI is designed to bridge the gap between sustainability strategies and financial performance, helping to build a better business case for both current and planned sustainability initiatives.


Interest earned is an example of an investment return.
The ROSI methodology identifies material sustainability strategies and the changed practices resulting from those strategies, then quantifies and monetizes the benefits.




Returns can be negative.  
It was developed by the NYU Stern Center for Sustainable Business.


Negative returns mean that the amounts received back from an investment are less than the amounts initially invested.
2. ''Investment appraisal.''
An abbreviation for ''rate of return''.
To facilitate comparisons, rates of return are usually expressed as a percentage of the initial amount invested, often as an effective annual rate of return.
When expressed on this basis, the rate of return is also known as 'yield'.
