The Centre for Business Relationships, Accountabilty, Sustainability and Society (BRASS) is an Economic and Social Research Council founded research centre at Cardiff University. BRASS has very strong links with policy on a regional, devolved, national and international level. BRASS researchers have conducted research for DBERR, WAG, the Environment Agency, Chatam House, Cardiff Council, the Scottish Parliament, DEFRA, IPPR, Cynnal Cymru, OECD, UN, UNEP and the European Parliament. BRASS researchers are leaders in their fields and are constantly called upon to comment on regulation and advise government.
