Our Story

It all began with a plan to protect the planet

When we started over 25 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

WWF-NL – Basket Monitor: The impact of a Dutch retailer’s shopping basket on climate and nature

We have been collaborating with WWF-Netherlands (WWF-NL) to design and establish the Basket Monitor in the Netherlands by mapping the progress of the country’s largest supermarket chain, Albert Heijn, in reducing the environmental impact of its shopping basket.

From footprint to Changeprint – high-impact local climate action guide

We worked with UK climate action charity Carbon Copy to create a guide that identifies key success factors for effective collaboration between stakeholder groups on local action for climate and nature.

NetZeroCities – Amsterdam Protein transition policy recommendations

We were commissioned, alongside CE Delft, by the City of Amsterdam via the NetZeroCities – EU Mission Platform for 100 Climate Neutral Cities by 2030, to assess which (additional) policy options could effectively reduce emissions from food consumption and advance the protein transition in Amsterdam.

Manchester Metropolitan University – University Climate Action Plan Support

Eunomia worked closely with Manchester Metropolitan University to build on its previous efforts to reduce Scope 3 emissions by conducting a spend-based assessment, identifying priorities for decarbonisation, and developing a detailed Scope 3 climate action plan.

Local Government Association – Enhancing green opportunities for SMEs in North Somerset

The Local Government Association commissioned us via its Economic Growth Advisers Programme to support North Somerset Council assess opportunities for reducing carbon emissions across priority local sectors. The research explored the challenges SMEs face in achieving net zero, including sectors with the highest emissions. The findings informed North Somerset Council’s emerging Climate Emergency Action Plan and Carbon Reduction Roadmap for SMEs.

Bristol Climate & Nature Partnership – Climate action workshops for SMEs

We partnered with Bristol Climate & Nature Partnership (the Partnership) to deliver a series of climate action workshops for Bristol-based small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) looking to kick-start their climate action.

Coca-Cola Europacific Partners – Updating beverage packaging recycling rates

Eunomia supported Coca-Cola Europacific Partners (CCEP) in updating packaging collected for recycling rates for 18 countries for CCEP’s 2024 reporting year. We worked closely with CCEP to understand regional contexts and overcome data challenges, enabling it to report progress towards its packaging recycling goals.

Innovation Norway – Scoping study for a Deposit Return System (DRS) in Vietnam

We were commissioned by the Norwegian Embassy and Innovation Norway in Vietnam, in consultation with Vietnam’s Ministry of Agriculture and Environment (MAE), to assess the design for, costs, and impacts of a Deposit Return System (DRS) for single-use beverage containers in Vietnam. Our research found that a DRS could offer significant environmental, economic, and social benefits to Vietnam, such as circular recycling up to 300,000 tonnes of used beverage containers annually.
