EQx is an impact-led social enterprise which manages the EQx System. A social enterprise is a business that aims to achieve a particular public or community mission (social, environmental, cultural or economic), and reinvests the majority of its profits into achieving that mission.

Because social enterprises are structured differently from a traditional charity or business, they may obtain funding from grants, investments, or a combination of both. In recent years, a number of new, hybrid options for financing social impact organisations have also been developed, which attend both to profit motivation and to social impact.

An impact-led organisation is one that has ‘identified’ the key areas of their business so that they are delivering maximum impact for each individual that they support. In other words, they have a model that maximises impact for the people they support at scale. The EQx System fits the impact-led social enterprise criteria perfectly!
