# Steven Fawkes & ep group
ep group is an investment and business development firm based in London that finances and scales companies operating in the net zero and regenerative economy transition. Led by Dr Steven Fawkes, the firm redefines corporate ownership by combining progressive equity structures with catalytic capital, creating a model that benefits both entrepreneurs and investors.
The company serves ambitious business founders and operators building solutions across the sustainability sector. Rather than traditional venture capital, ep group offers patient, long-term capital coupled with an ownership structure designed to align incentives and foster genuine impact.
What sets ep group apart is their integrated ecosystem approach. They don't simply invest—they actively grow portfolio companies through a suite of internal services including strategic consultancy, architectural and design expertise, technical assistance, and sustainable finance advisory. This creates genuine competitive advantage for their investee companies, which gain access to established networks and operational support beyond capital.
The firm's portfolio spans diverse sectors: energy transition management through their Pixii division handling distributed energy assets; architectural practice delivering sustainable buildings and heritage projects; and consultancy services providing net zero delivery strategies, measurement and verification support, and technical expertise.
Rather than pursuing financial returns alone, ep group explicitly prioritises impact delivery. Their philosophy—that business is the optimal vehicle for addressing environmental challenges, but business practices themselves must fundamentally change—distinguishes them from conventional private equity and positions them as mission-driven consolidators of the emerging regenerative economy.
