The Orange Bond Initiative™ is the world’s first asset class built by and for the Global South and the 99% as a solution to financing gender equality.

As an integral component of the Orange Movement™, this initiative plays a central role in advancing our mission to create a world where gender equality is the prevailing norm. It’s a critical step toward building a sustainable future that champions diversity, equity, and inclusion at its core.

The Orange Bond Initiative™ Objectives:

  • Building a gender-empowered financing system that works better for everyone by supporting and applying a set of global standards, indices, and performance metrics for investing in gender equality.

  • Mobilizing new sources of capital for women’s empowerment at scale by providing the tools, training, and knowledge products that enable gender lens investment product development.

  • Fast-tracking gender equality and women’s empowerment by using capital in ways that value women and girls as solutions to a more resilient, green future.
