TIIP Beyond 10: From Insight to Implementation
Founded in 2015, The Investment Integration Project (TIIP) set out with a bold vision: to help investors align their strategies and practices with the complex realities of the 21st century. From climate change to financial market volatility to health and social equity, we sought to demonstrate that these issues are interconnected—and that investors not only have a stake in systemic well-being, but a powerful role to play in safeguarding it.
Over the past decade, TIIP has worked to advance system-level investing: an approach that encourages investors to consider the broader social, environmental, and financial systems their portfolios rely on. With the right guidance, tools, and diagnostics, investors can help strengthen those systems—enhancing long-term financial performance and driving lasting market transformation in the process.
As we enter our second decade, TIIP remains committed to helping investors transition from fragmented impact investment, stewardship, and ESG integration practices to coherent, system-level strategies. Whether you’re just getting started or looking to lead, TIIP can support your journey.
Over the coming months, we’ll be building on our applied research and thought leadership, including our report on System-level Investing: Case Studies of Investors Leading the Way. In the meantime, we’re adding to the AI-enhanced capabilities of our SaaS platform (SAIL) every day. See below for more details on what we’ve added just in the past month.
Thanks for being part of this growing community. Let’s keep building smarter systems together.
