Our Story

It all began with a plan to protect the planet

When we started over 20 years ago in 2001, we deliberated long and hard over our name. How do you find something that sums up what you do, yet has meaning and is memorable?

We turned to Greek mythology for inspiration. We came across the goddess for law and legislation – Eunomia. She had the added bonus of being springtime goddess of green pastures, too.

Creating harmony between people and planet

Eunomia the goddess neatly sums up what we are about. We strive to build harmony between people and planet. We're social-environmental problem-solvers and researchers. We combine our real-world consulting experience and deep knowledge with an active role in policy. We empower organisations - both public and private - with pragmatic, science-led solutions that reduce human impact and protect the planet.

Case studies

Cambridgeshire County Council – Rural estate net zero roadmap

We helped Cambridgeshire County Council better understand the GHG emissions arising from agriculture and land use across its 33,000-acre farming estate, identified natural capital opportunities, and provided it with a high-level roadmap to achieving net zero by 2045. Our findings informed the Council’s Sixth Annual Carbon Footprint Report.[1]

UK Environment Agency – Communicating climate change information for flooding and coastal erosion

Eunomia's research identified effective ways for public organisations to help people process information about long-term climate change and take action to build resilience to flooding and coastal erosion. Our findings have been fed into Environment Agency publications and maps, used to inform the development of new training for staff, and shared with other programmes.

National Children’s Bureau – Carbon baseline and net zero pathway

UK Hydrographic Office – Cost benefit analysis of seabed mapping

Eunomia conducted a robust cost benefit analysis (CBA) that demonstrates the potential economic value of seabed mapping across multiple sectors, including offshore energy, shipping, telecommunications, fishing and aquaculture, marine defence, and environmental conservation. The analysis found that every £1 spent on seabed mapping could generate £86 in benefits to the UK’s marine economy.

Environment Agency – Social and environmental impacts of emerging greenhouse gas removal technologies

We partnered with the Environment Agency (EA) to explore the environmental and social implications of five specific emerging greenhouse gas removal (GGR) technologies. Our research built a strong evidence base to inform decisions on using these technologies in ways that balance the need for carbon removal with the protection of local communities and ecosystems.

ScottishPower – Circular economy baseline and opportunities assessment

Eunomia worked with ScottishPower, one of the UK’s largest energy providers, to support the delivery of a vital commitment in its Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reduction Plan: developing a Circular Economy Baseline and Action Plan to help tackle emissions from the company’s Scope 3 carbon footprint

The Duchy of Cornwall – calculating the complex carbon footprint of the vast estate of the Duchy of Cornwall

Using deep expertise to support The Duchy of Cornwall on its complex decarbonization journey. We developed a framework capable of calculating all emissions across the Duchy’s vast and varied estate.

Glasgow City Council, Zero Waste Scotland – Designing and implementing real-world recycling systems for the host of COP26

We combined our in-depth expertise in designing and implementing real-world recycling solutions with our proprietary waste collection modelling tool Hermes, which allows a wide range of authority specific and collection system variables to be modelled at a level that no other industry tool can match. The findings supported Glasgow City Council and Zero Waste Scotland in their efforts to raise Scotland's recycling rate.
