Activate Learning has partnered with Bioregional, an award-winning purpose-led sustainability consultancy, to develop the content of our sustainability courses. Bioregional supports businesses and organisations to transition to a net-zero carbon, circular, and sustainable future, and works with partners to create homes, workplaces, and retail destinations that enable sustainable living.
Bioregional helped develop BedZED - the UK’s first major sustainable community in South London which was completed in 2002. From the learnings of this project, Bioregional created the One Planet Living framework with WWF - comprising ten simple sustainability principles with detailed goals and guidance on how to ensure we live within the planetary boundaries of our one planet, Earth.
Since then, Bioregional has accrued over 20-years’ experience working with a wide range of organisations from small businesses and charities to large multinationals on calculating their carbon footprint, setting net zero targets, and developing sustainability strategies and reports.
