Our Story

The company was formed in 2007 by Dr. Andrew Kelly and Professor Peter Clinch and has its origins in the Department of Environmental Policy at University College Dublin founded in 1981. The principals, who have more than a combined 100 years’ of experience in the field of sustainability, are economists, each with varied specialties in fields such as corporate strategy, policy design, environmental markets, ESG, economic development and evaluation, economics and law, and corporate governance. Over the years the company has developed with the support of a number of senior partners including Prof. Denny Ellerman, Prof. Frank Convery, and the late Prof. Brendan Walsh.

The work of the company includes research in every sector of the economy and extends from nationally focused analysis to European and global regions.
