To truly #ActOnClimate, our built environment must achieve #netzero

We have proven that sustainable buildings are viable & achievable. So, this World Green Building Week, we want to shine a light on leading real-world examples

Here are a few of our favourites

Probably our most famous & recognisable project is the BedZED eco-village in S. London

Made with @PeabodyLDN, this innovative development paved the way for sustainable construction when it was built nearly 20 years ago

Not so cheeky anymore...

We helped food giant @NandosUK build their 'next-gen' sustainable restaurant in Cambridge with:

• 95% construction waste reused/recycled
• 35% carbon saving concrete
• 100% construction workers paid at least living wage https://www.bioregional.com/projects-and-services/case-studies/how-we-ensured-sustainable-construction-at-nandos-award-winning-restaurant

How we ensured sustainable construction at Nando’s award-winning restaurant – Bioregional

After helping Nando’s design its flagship sustainable restaurant in Cambridge we worked with its construction team to mitigate environmental impacts and maximise social value during the build
