The 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) require trillions of dollars in investment. While impact investors are contributing to the SDGs today, the lack of accessible, high-quality impact data results in elevated search and transaction costs, ultimately hindering the scale and credibility of the impact investing industry.
The Impact Data Xchange (IDX) envisions a world in which stakeholders collaborate seamlessly around high-quality, standardized impact data to unlock capital and accelerate progress toward achieving the SDGs.
The Vision Paper articulates the urgent need for the IDX and the advantages it offers. It also lays out the foundational governance framework and the technical architecture that will underpin the IDX moving forward.
