BioRegional scoops sustainability award

Independent environment organisation BioRegional won the Sustainable Business Award at last month’s South London Business Awards.

The award recognises BioRegional's excellent track record in developing practical solutions that help reduce climate change. This includes an involvement in local green projects, such as the BedZED eco-estate in Hackbridge, and the Towards One Planet Living initiative, a sustainability strategy that includes making the 2012 Olympics the greenest games yet.
Sue Riddlestone, Executive Director of BioRegional, commented: "We are delighted to have won this award, which recognises the hard work of all of our team to make BioRegional a truly sustainable organisation, both in terms of our internal operations and in the projects and companies that we run.

“When we started out, we wanted to do something to reduce the impact that we are all having on the planet. We saw it as a business opportunity. Working with great partners we have created some living, working examples which are a window into the future in terms of what it will be like to live within the means of our one planet; we've created jobs locally and we've had a lot of fun along the way. I guess that's the real bonus of working in sustainability: the feel good factor."
