OUR SOLUTIONS
We support the transition to Net Zero, climate resilience, nature recovery and a circular economy through trusted research, insightful analysis and expert evaluation.

Purpose + Mission 

We work with UK and international government departments, agencies, and NGOs to support better evidence-based policy decisions for energy and environment.  We  help our clients through all stages of the policy cycle, from diagnosing a problem through to policy design, monitoring and evaluation.  

Our team of over 20 experienced researchers and consultants have an extensive track record of applying social research, critical analysis and evaluation to address key policy challenges, including:

  • The transition to Net Zero 
  • Building our climate resilience 
  • Facilitating nature recovery 
  • Moving to a circular economy  

Approach 

Our team can assist you to identify, explore and assess solutions for policy challenges, and provide expert policy evaluation and programme interviews.  We offer the best solutions to help you listen to citizens and businesses. 

  • We have an extensive track record in qualitative research from depth-interviews with stakeholders and vulnerable audiences through to deliberative dialogues and ethnographic research. 
  • We excel in quantitative research providing large-scale nationally representative surveys to understand public and business attitudes and behaviours to energy and environment issues and interventions. 
  • The team is  expert in using critical analysis to identify, develop and assess policy options and in process, impact and economic evaluations of local, national, and international policy interventions.
