The Initiative’s name is derived from the color of UN Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 5: Gender Equality. Despite significant progress and research, gender inequality has been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic and the climate crisis and now some estimate it will take 130 years to eradicate the global gender gap. The Orange Bond Initiative™ will tap into the US$100 trillion bond market to place women at the forefront of capital markets as solutions to achieve the UN’s 17 SDGs and build a more inclusive, climate-resilient future for all.
