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

NHS Foundation Trust – Net zero carbon strategy and delivery plan

Eunomia collaborated with a large NHS Foundation Trust to develop a high-level decarbonisation strategy for all NHS Trusts in its surrounding county, in line with the NHS Net Zero Carbon Footprint (NHSCF+) 2045 target and the interim milestones set by Greener NHS. We also created a delivery plan for the Trust that maps out their detailed pathway to reducing emissions and achieving interim net zero targets.

Apparel retailer – Navigating the EU policy landscape for textiles

Eunomia partnered with a global fashion and retail brand to help translate the developing textile and packaging policy and regulatory landscape and identify actions needed to future-proof its European operations. We designed and delivered bespoke training that enabled the client senior leadership teams to understand key regulatory requirements, assess potential business impacts, and identify opportunities for strategic advantage in a changing market.

Automotive OEM – Accelerating circularity across automotive retail operations

We partnered with a global premium automotive OEM to unlock circular economy opportunities across its global retail sites. Our analysis provided robust data and a set of recommendations to support its sustainability ambitions to cut waste, boost resource efficiency, and embed circularity into its retail operations.

University of Bristol – University Climate Action Plan Support

Eunomia worked closely with the University of Bristol to support the development of an institution-wide climate action plan that meets internal and stakeholder expectations as well as standards for best practice.

Global Beverage Can Circularity Alliance – Global beverage packaging recycling dataset

Eunomia was commissioned by the Global Beverage Can Circularity Alliance (GBCCA) to estimate the global ‘collected for recycling rate’ and the ‘recycling rate’ for three different beverage packaging formats in 2025. This research helped the GBCCA to understand how these rates are changing and how aluminium can recycling compares to other beverage container materials.

North Herts Council and East Herts Council – Waste collection and street cleansing procurement

North Hertfordshire District Council (North Herts Council) and East Hertfordshire District Council (East Herts Council) commissioned Eunomia to provide technical and strategic support for the re-procurement of their eight-year joint waste collection and street cleansing contract.

Automotive manufacturer – The environmental benefits of lightweighting vehicles

A leading automotive manufacturer commissioned us to understand the environmental benefits that lightweighting vehicles can deliver. Our analysis provided evidence to expand and justify the economic and environmental narrative for this lightweighting.

Major UK-based dairy cooperative – Setting science based targets in the agricultural sector

We worked with one of the UK’s largest farmer-owned dairy cooperatives to strengthen its climate commitments and prepare for alignment with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). By equipping it with a robust emissions baseline and a clear pathway forward, the cooperative became better positioned to drive meaningful carbon reduction across the dairy sector.
