Social innovations are becoming an increasing drain on national public budgets and require new innovative policies. A financial instrument called Social Impact Bonds could be useful to overcome this barrier. Being bond a financial instrument, the debates on responsibility and irresponsibility in the service industry of this type are particularly relevant.

Following, we describe the steps necessary to achieve an innovation of this kind, a of society. In a second part, considering that one of the main obstacles to implementing a social innovation is financing, social impact bonds and payment for the associated results are described. In the third part of the article, being Social Impact Bonds a financial instrument, we will discuss about the responsibility of financial innovations. The paper ends with conclusions.
