About Impact Investment Exchange (IIX)

Impact Investment Exchange (IIX) is the pioneer in the impact investing movement and a global leader in
sustainability. We have transformed the financial system so that women, the environment and underserved
communities are finally given a value and a voice in the global market. Over the past decade, we have built the
world’s largest crowdfunding platform for impact investing (Impact Partners), operated award-winning enterprise
technical assistance programs such as IIX ACTS, created innovative financial products such as the Women's
Livelihood Bond Series and established an Impact Institute and Research & Advisory to build the sustainable
investing market. To date, our work has spanned 57 countries, unlocked US$288 million of private-sector capital,
positively impacted over 159 million direct and household lives, and avoided over 1.83 million tons of carbon. The
foundation of IIX's work is IIX Values, an innovative impact verification solution for every organization, which
effectively measures the social and environmental impact of an investment and gives value to the voices of the
underserved. In 2022, IIX launched the Orange Bond Initiative to unlock $10 billion in the capital markets by 2030
and impact 100 million women in the last mile. The recent issuance of the Women’s Livelihood Bond 5 is now
officially listed on the Singapore Exchange (SGX) as the world’s first Orange Bond. IIX’s numerous awards for its
work include the Oslo Business for Peace Award, the P4G State-of-the-art Partnership award, the UN Global
Climate Action Award and most recently the Environmental Finance's Award for Innovation.



Some of our clients include foundations such as the Rockefeller Foundation and Bank of America-Merrill Lynch
Foundation, corporations such as Standard Chartered Bank and KKR, international non-profits such as Oxfam and
World Vision, multilateral institutions such as the Asian Development Bank, UN Agencies such as UNDP, and
