Jeremy Oppenheim

Jeremy leads McKinsey's Sustainability and Resource Productivity Practice. Drawing on deep expertise in renewables, energy efficiency, and environmental finance, he advises private, public, and social sector clients globally.

Jeremy serves leading corporations on low carbon and green strategies. His clients are among the world’s largest oil companies, engineering groups, mining companies, and banks.

In the public sector, he has advised both developed and developing countries on ways in which to combine robust economic growth with the protection of irreplaceable environmental assets.

Working with a global philanthropic organization, Jeremy helped develop a leading approach (the Project Catalyst initiative) to ways in which the global economy could shift to low-carbon growth ahead of the 2009 COP-15 climate change negotiations in Copenhagen.

He is a regular speaker at global resource productivity and sustainability events, and is currently an expert advisor to the UN Secretary General’s Panel on Sustainable Development.
