To reflect the company's growth strategy and its transformation to a fully integrated service company, which contributes to green transition in maritime, power intensive and renewable industries.

The name Eqva was formed by combining the letters "eq", the starting point of the words equal, equity and equality, and "va" the starting point of the word's "variety" and "value" – words that reflects the company's strategic priorities.
