Energy & environment research specialists

As the climate crisis escalates, there has never been a more important time for insight to help inform energy and environmental policy decisions. With the Government’s 2050 net-zero emissions now enshrined in law, energy and environment concerns are high on the public policy agenda. Meanwhile many organisations are seeking to deliver programmes, services or products aimed at supporting businesses and consumers reduce their environmental impact.

Which is where we come in. Our sector specialists help government, businesses and third sector organisations gain the insight needed to make better-informed decisions on energy and environmental policies.
