Partners in Equity

Positive Change for a Sustainable Tomorrow

Who we are

An Impact Investment Firm

Partners in Equity is a private investment firm whose mission is to support companies and funds that create solutions to environmental challenges. We are building a portfolio of investments in sustainable agriculture and food systems, circularity, and climate solutions. Founded in 2003, we have invested in a range of companies in different stages. Having invested in ventures, we understand that meaningful change takes time and effort. We partner with organisations whose missions and values align with ours and we remain committed for the long term. Our ambition is to be a partner of choice by entrepreneurs, funds, and impact investors.

Our Vision

Bringing People and Nature Closer Together

We envision a world that is inclusive, just and sustainable. A world where we reconnect with nature and understand that our well-being and prosperity are linked to the wellbeing of the planet itself. A world where thoughtful choices guide how we produce, consume, and use resources.

To make this vision a reality, we need to build an economic system that prioritises environmental protection and social inclusion and which is financially sustainable. We believe in the critical role of investing in the right people and solutions to make the future we envision a reality.

Our Focus Areas

Sustainable Agriculture & Food Systems, Climate Solutions and Circularity

The areas are interconnected through their shared focus on restoring ecosystems, reducing waste, and mitigating climate change. Together they represent a comprehensive approach to restoring the connection between people and planet.
