Mission – Moving Money to meaning
We want to provide professional investment advisory services to social minded investors and enterprises globally. We embrace our role in society and business through a servant leadership approach where our goal as leaders is to serve all our stakeholders.
Vision – A world where investment empowers people and embraces the planet
We believe in a world where investments provide a financial and social return that compensates investors for the risks of investment and where all investments are carried out with the objective to have a positive economic, social, and environmental return.
Diversity
We provide the opportunity to work in an international environment, alongside individuals from various parts of the world.
Inclusion
EQ is an Equal Opportunity Employer for all employees and applicants for employment without regard to race, tribe, colour, religion, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, age, disability, genetic information, marital status, amnesty or status as a covered veteran. This applies to all terms and conditions of employment, including hiring, placement, promotion, termination, layoff, recall, transfer, leaves of absence, compensation, training and staff development.
Learning & Development
To encourage our team members to keep growing, we provide financial assistance to cover the costs of examinations for individual seminars and courses taken by staff, which are job-related and are required by the staff to effectively perform his or her work.
