Tallgrass Institute Releases its 2025-2026 Impact Report


“From Alaska to Alabama, from Jakarta to Geneva, we have listened to the lived realities of Indigenous Peoples to more accurately translate their experiences into language, analysis, and investor-led advocacy that drives durable corporate change. This is the action we can take: to build a web of knowledge and energy and to drive transparency in disclosures and information that shifts power to Indigenous Peoples.” –Kate R. Finn, Founder and Executive Director, Tallgrass Institute
