About Us

At Strategy. Policy. Research. we specialise in making the business case for sustainability. Our team of consulting economists, researchers, and analysts is dedicated to reducing Australia’s greenhouse gas emissions and transitioning to a low-carbon economy. We firmly believe that a sustainable future brings significant benefits—more investment, better jobs, stronger communities, and a healthier environment.

Our highly experienced team works with robust data and evidence to show how reducing emissions and improving resource efficiency can cut costs, boost profitability, create jobs, enhance business reputation, and improve overall well-being. We collaborate with governments, businesses, and communities to enable real, lasting change.

Led by our Principal, Philip Harrington, we’ve delivered dozens of successful projects, large and small, across climate policy, energy efficiency, renewable energy, and infrastructure.
