Our story
Even before compliance became a buzzword across industries, promoting an open and legally compliant company culture was at the core of EQS Group’s activities. We at EQS Group believe that integrity and radical transparency create the most important corporate capital: trust.
This is precisely why EQS Group decided to venture into the area of compliance by creating a state-of-the-art digital whistleblowing solution.
The EQS Integrity Line whistleblowing hotline offers your employees a secure channel to raise any issues they observe internally.
Our founding
When Achim Weick founded EQS Group – then EquityStory – in 2000, the company’s primary focus was on building Investor Relations products. As an investment banker, Achim’s own experiences of working in a toxic environment influenced a great deal in the founding of EQS Group and our subsequent journey into building whistleblowing solutions.
A strong, positive corporate culture rooted in transparency and integrity has always been our priority and is reflected in our values and work principles.
Trust is vital for any organization, where employees feel encouraged to report corporate misconduct without feeling unsafe or threatened.
Our whistleblowing solution allows companies to comply with whistleblower protection regulations by actively guaranteeing secure reporting, thereby building trust within the organization.
Over the years, we have taken compliance to the next level and developed solutions that enable you to fully digitalise your compliance work.
