Energy
From climate change to the fight against poverty, energy issues are at the forefront of the 21st century’s most pressing challenges and opportunities. Energy companies are working to deliver new resources that will support worldwide economic growth and development, while helping to address the range of environmental and social impacts that come with energy production and consumption.
Our team has extensive corporate and field experience with energy clients along with strong networks that tap thought leaders from NGOs to academia. We offer targeted assistance to address issues associated with conventional, unconventional, and alternative energy resource developments.
