About Impact Investment Exchange (IIX)
Impact Investment Exchange (IIX) is a pioneer in the global impact investing movement, dedicated to reshaping finance for sustainable development with a focus on gender equality and climate action through capital mobilization and data-based solutions. For over a decade and a half, we've been building the sustainable investing market, from establishing the world's largest crowdfunding platform for impact investing (Impact Partners™), operating award-winning enterprise technical assistance programs, creating innovative financial products such as the Women's Livelihood Bond™ Series, (6 listed bonds and growing) and establishing an Impact Institute and Research & Advisory. While we are very deep with our work in Asia, the Pacific, and Africa, our work spans 60 countries globally where we have mobilized close to $500 million of private-sector capital, positively impacted over 160 million direct and household lives, avoided over 1.9 million metric tons of carbon, and have collected over 90,000+ data points on sustainable micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs). The base of IIX's work is IIX Values™, an impact verification tech solution measuring investments' social and environmental impact to the last mile, amplifying the voices of the underserved. In 2022, we, along with global partners, launched the Orange Movement™ and, within that, created a new asset class, Orange Bonds, to demonstrate the intersectionality of gender equality and climate action and unlock $10 billion in capital markets by 2030, impacting 100 million women, girls, and gender minorities and making them a key player in climate mitigation and adaptation efforts. In 2024, we unveiled our global data hub, IIX Intelligence™, which aggregates, evaluates, and benchmarks data from sustainable MSMEs, offering unparalleled insights into gender diversity, climate action, ESG performance, and community risk management. IIX Intelligence demonstrates with data the importance of MSMEs as a backbone of sustainable development. Numerous accolades, including the Oslo Business for Peace Award and the UN Global Climate Action Award, have recognized our efforts. Our team’s 'PREM' values—passion, resilience, equity, and mavericks—propel our efforts, bringing meaningful change to Global South communities and the 99%.
