Rob Parker | Parker Financial Advice

I have attended EQ’s Annual Sustainability Summit the past couple of years and have found them to be thought-provoking and informative, with a good blend of speakers from both inside and outside the profession. We have been working with EQ for the past couple of years and have been impressed with the support they have provided us. They are an integral part of our investment proposition and are always available to assist when needed, whether that be a technical discussion on sustainable investing or dealing with specific client queries.
Simon Evans | Clear Future Financial Planners

EQ Investors, a force for good in our world. The conference, a celebration of sustainable investment.; equipping me with understanding and the tools to present it confidently to my clients.
Liz Mackenzie | Grange IFA

The EQ Sustainability Summit was well worth the trip. An excellent opportunity to meet other likeminded planners, share ideas and hear first-hand from the EQ team and others about impact investment.
Julian Parrott | Ethical Futures

Thank you EQ Investors for an excellent, and timely conference. Always good to be in the room with intelligent, interesting and passionate contributors. What the world needs now are people who resolutely hold onto their values, at a time when it can become easy to get distracted into less savoury profits.

It’s great to hear on both the investment focus and the sustainability focussed and how EQ bring these areas together. Hearing from both differing users as well as from underlying investments and tools really shows EQ’s scale and specialism in this space.
