Diversity, Equity & Inclusion

As a company, EQT is committed to creating an inclusive and diverse workplace that values and celebrates differences. EQT recognizes that Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DE&I) has a positive impact on both EQT’s investors, employees, and society. Fostering an environment that not only respects but also values difference is not a ‘nice to have’ – it is a ‘must have’. Diversity in experiences, knowledge, and perception is crucial for our decision-making ability and our business success. EQT firmly believes that we, in our role as an investor, have a duty to be socially conscious and to use our platform to take affirmative action for a more equitable and meritocratic tomorrow.

LGBTQ+ Inclusion In EQT

One of the areas in which EQT has focused its efforts is LGBTQ+ inclusion. EQT recognizes the unique challenges faced by LGBTQ+ individuals in the workplace and is dedicated to creating a supportive and welcoming environment for all employees, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity.

EQT has a network focused on LGBTQ+ topics that host inclusion-related events and social activities, as well as shares and promotes educational content on related themes. The network is open to everyone at EQT – both LGBTQ+ professionals and allies.

In addition to these initiatives, EQT is a member of Out Investors ("OI") - a global organization that was founded with the mission to make the direct investing industry more welcoming for LGBTQ+ individuals. OI runs events and programs involving LGBTQ+ investment professionals and investment adjacent roles such as portfolio value creation, fund management, and investor relations.

EQT also prioritizes LGBTQ+ inclusion in its hiring and recruitment practices. EQT strives to attract a diverse pool of candidates for every position and actively recruits LGBTQ+ candidates to ensure that its workforce reflects the communities it serves.

Overall, EQT is committed to creating a workplace where all employees feel welcome, valued, and supported. The company's dedication to LGBTQ+ inclusion is just one aspect of its broader commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion. By fostering a culture of inclusivity and promoting allyship, EQT is creating a workplace where everyone can thrive.
