Our courses change lives; we use the outdoors and our national training centres as vehicles for immersive, meaningful learning that makes a real, lasting difference to the lives of thousands of people in Oman each year. Many young people in Oman are able to benefit from our Outward Bound courses thanks to the generous corporate social investment from many leading companies in Oman. We understand that CSR managers need to demonstrate a social return on that investment, and work hard to capture and share the impact with our partners in a variety of ways.

In 2023, as part of their ESG commitment KPMG undertook a study to assess the social return on investment (SROI) for Outward Bound Oman’s courses. This methodology focuses on quantifying the social, environmental, and economic outcomes of social programs, representing them in tangible financial terms. The study showed that for every Omani Riyal invested in Outward Pound Oman courses, the societal return is an impressive 10.5 Omani Rials.
