JBA Group is a British employee-owned group of companies operating in environmental consultancy, engineering, risk management and catastrophe modelling. Founded in 1995 by Jeremy Benn, who serves as Group Executive Chair, the group has grown into one of the world's leading specialists in flood risk, environmental engineering and climate adaptation. Its client base includes national governments, financial institutions, insurers and international bodies such as the World Bank, the European Investment Bank, Defra and the Environment Agency. The group's work is centred on helping clients across the globe build resilience to flood and environmental risk in a changing climate. Its consulting and modelling services span flood risk assessment, environmental engineering, climate adaptation strategy, risk management and catastrophe modelling for the insurance and financial sectors. JBA Group describes itself as committed to exceptional client service that improves the environment, business and infrastructure for the benefit of everyone. As an employee-owned business, JBA Group emphasises independence and a long-term, sustainable vision. The company states that the confidence and satisfaction of its clients, customers, colleagues and partners drives everything it does. It has also set a goal to reach Net Zero by 2040, recognising a climate and ecological emergency and committing to minimise the environmental impacts of its operations. The group provides funding and technical support to charitable and environmental causes as part of its wider mission. JBA Group operates primarily from the United Kingdom but serves clients globally, with a strong track record of major studies for governments and international institutions. Its combination of environmental science, engineering and financial risk modelling positions it at the intersection of climate resilience and commercial risk analysis.

JBA Group was founded in 1995 by Jeremy Benn, who continues to serve as Group Executive Chair. From its origins as a specialist consultancy, the group expanded into a family of companies covering environmental consultancy, engineering, risk management and catastrophe modelling. Over nearly three decades it has built a reputation as one of the world's leading specialists in flood risk, environmental engineering and climate adaptation. A defining characteristic of the group is its employee-owned structure, which it says gives it the freedom to make its own choices, take responsibility for its decisions and maintain a long-term, sustainable vision. This independence has allowed JBA Group to pursue major studies for national governments, financial institutions, insurers and international bodies including the World Bank, the European Investment Bank, Defra and the Environment Agency. The group has also committed to environmental goals of its own, including a target to reach Net Zero by 2040. It provides funding and technical support to charitable and environmental initiatives. Today JBA Group operates globally from its UK base, helping clients build resilience to flood and environmental risk in a changing climate.
