EQS is a leading international provider of regulatory technology in the fields of corporate compliance and investor relations. Its products enable corporate clients to fulfil complex national and international disclosure obligations, minimise risks and communicate transparently with stakeholders.

EQS should now (finally) have the impetus of full legislative implementation regarding digital whistleblowing in its home market of Germany. The boost should kick in relatively quickly, given the group’s experience in other markets, such as France, Spain and Italy. We regard the strategy of establishing a much wider pool of customers for cross- and up-selling of other corporate compliance cloud-based services to be sound. Upcoming EU regulation on ESG monitoring and reporting should also provide substantial opportunities.
