Turning insight into influence

Influence policy. Inspire change. Drive sustainable growth.

In energy and decarbonisation, policy decisions shape markets, unlock opportunities and define the pace of transition. Successfully navigating the political and regulatory landscape is critical for growth, investment and project delivery.

We help ambitious organisations build trusted relationships, shape the policy environment and advocate effectively for change that supports their business goals and accelerates the clean energy transition.

Against a backdrop of increasing scrutiny, shifting public expectations and global competition for energy leadership, influencing the right decisions at the right time has never been more critical. Effective public affairs is about aligning ambition with policy realities, building influential relationships, and speaking with a clear and compelling voice.
