BioRegional’s hard work pays off

Sustainable entrepreneurs BioRegional, are winners of this year's Sustainable Business Award. It recognises company's track record in developing practical solutions which help reduce climate change.

BioRegional were up against tough competition from some of the areas leading sustainable businesses but their involvement in local green projects such as the BedZED eco-estate in Hackbridge, and the Towards One Planet Living in Sutton initiative as well as with the 2012 Olympics and B&Q saw them take the prize.

Sue Riddlestone, executive rirector 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 organization 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.”
