M.J. Bradley & Associates

What M.J. Bradley & Associates does

M.J. Bradley & Associates (MJB&A) was a strategic consulting firm founded in 1994 by Michael Bradley, headquartered in Concord, USA, providing advisory services on energy and environmental issues to private, public, and non-profit sector clients. Its core offerings combined bespoke consulting with a portfolio of proprietary interactive analytical tools — including emissions benchmarking tools for the 100 largest US power producers and US oil and gas operations, state-level emission pathways modeling (STEP), gas company climate planning tools, and EV infrastructure planning resources (E-DRIVE, Regional EV Charging Infrastructure Toolkit) — alongside leadership of four named industry coalitions (Clean Energy Group, Permitting and Infrastructure Coalition, Downstream Natural Gas Initiative, Natural Gas Supply Collaborative). Pricing and revenue mechanics are not publicly disclosed; the firm's revenue model is consistent with project-based boutique consulting supplemented by modest grant funding (e.g., two NYSERDA awards in 2014 and 2016, each under $80K).

In March 2020, ERM International Group Limited acquired MJB&A, and the firm has since been operating as an ERM Group company. By 2025, MJB&A is fully transitioning to the ERM brand: its publications archive, coalitions, and interactive tools have been migrated to the ERM corporate website and the SustainAbility Institute by ERM, and the firm's underlying capabilities are being integrated into ERM's broader sustainability, energy transition, and climate solutions portfolio. As a standalone operating entity with a discrete P&L, MJB&A is effectively being absorbed; its durable asset is the analytical tool portfolio and the embedded US energy and environmental policy expertise, now redeployed through ERM's global delivery platform.
