Partners
Business
The natural environment and the economy are two complex systems whose fate is bound together. Yet they have long been placed in opposition to each other. At LEEP, we have a strong record of collaboration with private sector partners, particularly within the agriculture, food, utilities, and finance industries. Our research delivers real-world impact, helping businesses shape long-term strategic and investment decisions while building skills and capacity.
If you believe our expertise could benefit your organisation or sector, we’d be delighted to hear from you (contact us).
Businesses can also engage with LEEP through Green Futures Solutions – The University of Exeter initiative that connects organisations with its world-leading community of over 1500 climate scientists, economists, and researchers.



















Public sector
LEEP has a long history of co-developing and integrating interdisciplinary research, expertise, and tools into policy and practice, delivering benefits for the environment, economy, and communities.
Our team has a proven record of collaborating with policymakers to place the environment at the heart of decision-making, has delivered major projects for the UK Government, and provides strategic advice at the highest levels.











Community
Much of LEEP’s work is dedicated to shaping decisions that foster sustainable, resilient communities. We have extensive experience working at the grassroots level, carrying out research to understand how policies influence people, their homes, and their livelihoods.
LEEP’s leadership of the SWEEP Programme and the UK Farmer Discussion Network are key examples of how the team has successfully partnered with communities.
