Our purpose is to study people's lives in Emerging Markets to identify and actively drive solutions to the social and environmental issues they face
Our Beliefs
We believe that the biggest challenge of this century is to meet the needs of all within the means of the planet.
By conducting deep ethnographic research and understanding the values, hopes, and aspirations of communities, we identify systemic barriers and co-create actionable, sustainable solutions. We believe that the rigorous engagement frameworks once used to drive corporate change can be directly applied to amplify social impact.
Our Philosophy in Action
We believe that meaningful change must be grounded in the lived experiences of the communities it affects. That is why Trinetra utilizes our proprietary Fast and Collaborative Ethnography (FACE) method.
This approach embraces the intimacy and empathy of traditional fieldwork while leveraging collaborative tools to drive impact faster and more effectively. Our key skill is turning deep community immersions into actionable strategies that deliver measurable social outcomes today
We combine ethnography with rigorous impact strategy and stakeholder engagement
Our Team
We are a purpose-driven, 100% employee-owned impact strategy firm, founded in 2016 and based in London, UK. In June 2026, having successfully closed our investment management operations and returning capital to investors, we evolved our mission. Our senior team now applies its proven track record in ethnographic research and active corporate engagement directly to community and social sector challenges.
Active Engagement & Direct Impact
Building on our legacy as active owners and UN PRI signatories, we now apply our proven stakeholder engagement frameworks directly to social impact initiatives. We partner with organizations to drive systemic change, ensuring that community needs are met with the same rigorous advocacy and strategic dialogue we once brought to corporate boardrooms.
A prime example of this evolved approach is our ongoing work on an NHS project, where we leverage our expertise in stakeholder alignment and impact strategy to support positive social outcomes in healthcare and community well-being. This direct-impact work is built upon the same rigorous methodologies that drove our award-winning collaborative engagement with Alsea and Fundación Alsea.
We Support
UNFCCC
Paris Agreement
We are strong advocates for transparency and impact measurement. Where relevant, we encourage our partner organizations and projects to adopt robust sustainability and impact disclosure frameworks, drawing on best practices from TCFD and the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). We explicitly map the social and environmental attributes of the initiatives we support to the SDGs, ensuring our work contributes tangibly to the UNFCCC Paris Agreement and global sustainability targets.
We support FAIRR’s mission to build a more sustainable and equitable food system and engage with our portfolio companies to address material risks in intensive animal agriculture, such as climate, pollution, nature and biodiversity loss, labour issues and antimicrobial resistance.
We endorse the coalition, bringing together businesses and financial institutions committed to supporting the development of an ambitious, effective and legally binding UN treaty to end plastic pollution. The coalition is convened by the Ellen MacArthur Foundation and WWF, in collaboration with aligned businesses and supported by strategic NGO partners.
We support the Access to Medicine Foundation and engage with our portfolio companies to transform healthcare and expand access to medicine and vaccines in low- and middle-income countries.
