The concept is based on two parts. A qualitative assessment of a company’s entire profile carried out by an external party covering e.g. to what extent a company’s revenues and investments are derived from green business activities.

The main criteria for a company to qualify for the Green Equity Designation is that over 50% of its revenue and investments must derive from activities considered green. As an alternative, a Green Equity Transition Designation is attainable for companies with the ambition to transition to become green and that has a significant share of investments allocated to green activities.
