Equis: Energizing a cleaner future

The investment: In 2020, we acquired almost 50 per cent of infrastructure firm Equis Development.

Responsible stewardship. Innovative investing strategies. Long-term, sustainable practices. These are three of the reasons we invested in Equis Development.

Equis is looking to improve the quality of life for communities across the Asia-Pacific region in the long term. The company is focused on developing, constructing, and operating primary and hybrid renewable energy projects, biomass power generation, distributed energy and storage assets, and waste infrastructure in Australia, Japan, and South Korea.

Equis covers every stage of a project's life cycle, from development, design and construction to asset management and performance optimization. This holistic approach allows Equis to create new infrastructure assets that reduce power prices and carbon dioxide emissions while providing us with the opportunity to invest in businesses that generate strong returns.

As Asia addresses its climate change and waste management challenges, Equis has demonstrated that it is able to bring creative and cost-competitive solutions and deliver benefits back to the communities in which they operate.  We are proud to help finance and facilitate the implementation of global best practice technologies in the region.
