Eunomia

What Eunomia does

Eunomia Research and Consulting Ltd. is a UK-headquartered international environmental consultancy founded in 2001, operating from Bristol with offices in Edinburgh, London, and North America, and employing approximately 100+ staff globally. The firm delivers science-led, policy-influencing research and consulting across three integrated service areas: Circular Economy (resource loops and waste reduction), Low Carbon Economy (net zero transition, carbon footprinting, climate action planning), and Natural Economy (biodiversity, ecosystem services, natural resource management). Its underlying technology consists of evidence-based research methodologies — including circular economy assessments, Science Based Targets-aligned emissions baselining, and life cycle analyses — packaged as bespoke consulting deliverables rather than as a software platform.

The business model is professional services revenue from tailored, quote-based consulting engagements delivered directly to clients in the public sector (e.g., DEFRA, Environment Agency, Scottish Government, Washington Department of Ecology), the private sector (manufacturing, packaging, retail, energy, automotive, food and beverage), and NGOs/charities (e.g., WWF). Pricing is not publicly disclosed and contracts are multi-year; go-to-market is sales-led and heavily supported by thought leadership through reports, case studies, events, and social channels. The firm holds B Corp, ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and Cyber Essentials Plus certifications and claims 4,000+ completed projects and 1,000+ clients, providing reputational and process credentials that support public-sector and large-enterprise mandate capture. Revenue is not disclosed in the source data and there are no external funding rounds, parent companies, or M&A events recorded.
