Orange Index

Measuring the Multidimensional Impact of MSMEs
on Gender, Community Resilience, and Climate

According to the World Bank, Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) represent 90% of businesses and support over half of the global workforce, yet their broader impact often goes unseen. The Orange Index brings enterprises to light by measuring the heartbeat of local innovation across 1,207 enterprises in 54 countries from 2019 to 2025. The Index proves these ventures are not just economic units, but the primary architects of Gender Equality, Community Resilience, and Climate Action. It is a testament to the fact that when we invest in impact enterprises, we create a monumental, measurable impact that safeguards our collective future.
