SystemiQ

SystemiQ was founded in 2016 by Jeremy Oppenheim, who previously led McKinsey & Company's Sustainability and Resource Productivity Practice. Oppenheim has also held roles with the World Economic Forum and the Global Commission on the Economy and Climate. The firm was established as a certified B Corporation with a mandate to build market systems that support a regenerative, net-zero economy.

SystemiQ's investment arm sources opportunities through its deep advisory networks and partnerships with corporates, governments, and multilateral institutions. The firm makes direct venture and growth equity investments into companies and project platforms aligned with its sustainability thesis, particularly in circular materials, land use, and energy. Specific fund sizes and deployment figures are not publicly disclosed.

SystemiQ operates as a hybrid organization. One arm functions as an asset manager deploying capital into early-stage and growth ventures. A separate advisory and systems-change arm designs and facilitates multi-stakeholder partnerships, such as the Global Plastic Action Partnership, without managing discretionary third-party capital. This dual structure distinguishes it from a conventional private equity firm.

SystemiQ targets sectors where systemic change can significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions and environmental degradation. Its primary focuses include energy transition, sustainable land use and agriculture, circular economy and plastics, and ocean health. The firm seeks opportunities that align commercial returns with measurable environmental outcomes.

No. While SystemiQ is headquartered in London, it is active in multiple regions including Southeast Asia, Brazil, sub-Saharan Africa, and continental Europe. Its advisory initiatives and investment activities often involve cross-border coalitions and supply-chain interventions in emerging and frontier markets.
