About the Orange Movement

Launched in 2022, the Orange Movement™ is a global initiative led by IIX to integrate gender equality and climate action into financial markets. At the core of the movement are Orange Bonds—the world’s first gender-lens and climate-focused asset class—designed to:

• Mobilize US$10 billion in capital markets by 2030
• Positively impact 100 million women, girls, and gender minorities
• Position women and gender minorities as leaders in climate resilience and adaptation
