Introduction to gender lens finance: how investing in women supports better social and financial outcomes

The Impact Investment Exchange (IIX) is a global organization driving social and environmental impact through innovative financial solutions. Through its platforms and initiatives, such as the Women's Livelihood Bond, IIX has mobilized millions of dollars for impactful projects across Asia.

Join representatives from ASFI, IIX, Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, and ANZ to learn how IIX's Orange Program leverages the power of capital markets to support gender equality. The Orange Program's 'gender lens' approach helps financial institutions integrate gender into capital allocation decisions – achieving better financial outcomes, enhancing their market position, and contributing to positive social change. Gender lens financing also helps driving innovation, mitigating risks, and achieving greater corporate responsibilities.

This webinar will bring the Orange Program to life with case studies and practical examples of how Australian banks and investors can adopt gender lens approaches for their operations in Australia and the Asia-Pacific region.
