EQ Investors has a 10-year track record running sustainable portfolios for retail and professional clients. It now manages active, passive and bespoke portfolios with more than £1.8bn in assets under management.

This year EQ, under joint CEO Sophie Kennedy, has once again secured B Corporation certification. It is the third time the firm has passed the rigorous process businesses have to go through to show they are committed to making a positive impact. This time, it managed to achieve its highest ever score.

Two recent initiatives demonstrate why EQ has consistently achieved B Corporation status. The firm has created climate action portfolios that focus on companies with strong climate risk-management policies, that provide exposure to green projects, or are speeding up the pace of change in climate laggards.

EQ has also developed a carbon calculator that provides clients with transparency over the associated carbon emissions with the investments they manage.
