WHY BECOME AN APPROVED VERIFIER?
Orange Bond Approved Verifiers play an instrumental role in building a more gender empowered financial system and unlocking new revenue streams in light of growing market interest in gender lens investing.
The growing investor demand for Gender-Social-Sustainability (GSSS) issuances is reflected in a 53% increase in gender bond volume (Moodys 2023), reaching a total of US$49 billion of the thematic bond market that could potentially be labeled Orange Bonds.
As an approved verifier, you can capitalize on the expanding gender bond market by offering Orange Bond labeling services and diversifying your offerings to clients looking to embrace Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI). Enhance your service portfolio by joining our Orange Bond Verification Training Program to build your capabilities in:
- Applying the Orange Bond label to existing GSSS issuances by issuing second-party opinions.
- Establishing leadership in the growing DEI market, which accounts for a steadily rising market size of $2 billion (Parallele Finance 2023).
- Enhancing your ESG consulting services to corporates, sovereigns and financial institutions interested in issuing or investing in Orange Bonds, Orange Loans or other forms of Orange Capital.
Orange Bonds are a cross-cutting asset class that are designed to complement a range of existing standards (from GSSS Bonds to Climate Bonds), thematic areas (from Catastrophe Bonds to Peace Bonds), and innovative structures (from Impact CLOs to Development Impact Bonds). Join the global Orange Movement as an Approved Verifier to bring a gender lens to sustainable finance and redesign the DNA of capital markets to empower women from the boardroom to the last mile.
