Nexii facilitates large scale impact investing by improving the financial infrastructure, expanding intermediation networks, enhancing access to affordable capital and establishing the meeting places and products necessary for investors and impact investments to connect. More and more people are becoming aware that it is now vital to weave sustainability and consideration of the environment and society at large into the fabric of business. Nowhere is this more relevant than in the financial services sector. In the wake of the global financial crisis, investors are seeking solutions from financial institutions that value more than transparency and sustainability; they are seeking institutions that demonstrate manifest intent and proactively address social and environmental needs in a market-based approach to development. Nexii is just such a financial institution.
