Systemiq, the system-change company, was founded to drive the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals and the Paris Agreement, by transforming markets and business models in five key systems: nature and food, materials and circularity, energy, urban areas, and sustainable finance.

A certified B Corp, Systemiq combines strategic advisory with high-impact, on-the-ground work, and partners with business, finance, policy-makers and civil society to deliver system change. We have offices in Brazil, France, Germany, Indonesia, the Netherlands and the UK.

Since our start in 2016, we have grown to more than 370 people working across locations in Brazil, Germany, France, Indonesia, the Netherlands, and the UK.

What do we do?

Systemiq orchestrates system change in clean energy, circular material solutions and sustainable land use.
