Solving Today's Problems, Creating the Winners of Tomorrow's Economy

EQT Future is an Article 9 fund and has developed ways to align sustainability with financial returns, including linking carried interest to sustainability targets.

EQT Future sets portfolio-wide sustainability targets for its investments to transform how businesses are operated. The targets are supplemented with tailored impact KPIs for each business, designed to accelerate the positive impact of the company’s products or services. We seek to generate net positive impact in portfolio companies through two pathways:

1. identifying and incentivizing a pivot from the existing market offering at the time of investment towards products and services with a measurable positive impact
2. scaling existing impactful products and services for greater reach and depth of impact.

EQT Future is supported by EQT’s in-house sustainability and digitization teams, which includes dedicated impact resources, EQT Private Capital’s global sector teams, and EQT’s extensive advisory network. The Future Mission Board, co-chaired by Paul Polman and Jacob Wallenberg, brings a broad spectrum of expert competencies and provides strategic direction with a clear focus on the purpose and impact thesis of each investment.
