About the High Road
High Road Strategies, LLC is an industrial, economic and energy policy consultancy dedicated to developing and advancing legislative and industrial strategies that promote economic growth, support environmental protection and address social needs. Its main areas of work include policy research, analysis, evaluation, and design, applied to complex economic, industrial, energy and technology issues.
Traditional economic and business thinking often assumes that economic goals must be at odds with environmental and social goals. The High Road Strategies approach is based on the belief that economic prosperity and industrial competitiveness are both compatible with and benefit from a commitment to environmental sustainability, an educated, well-paid workforce, strong communities, social equity, and a high quality of life.
For example, High Road Strategies has been helping industry, labor, government, and public interest leaders design, evaluate and improve policies that maintain and enhance industrial competitiveness, while reducing greenhouse gas emissions and increasing energy security.
