-
Sue Riddlestone OBE is CEO and co-founder of Bioregional, and a 2009 Skoll awardee. Sue and the team work with partners to create homes, communities and products and services which enable us to live well within a sustainable carbon and ecological footprint. Bioregional are behind many exemplary residential communities, including the iconic BedZED eco-village in London, and Bicester eco-town in Oxford.
To scale their work, Bioregional systematised their approach to create a sustainability framework called One Planet Living, used in over $30billion of real-estate development, as well as by municipalities, cities, organisations and companies around the world from Mexico to China, the USA and Australia.
Sue draws on this to influence policy and industry practice from zero carbon to eco-towns and the UN Sustainable Development Goals. In 2013 Sue was awarded one of the UK’s highest honours, an OBE, for services to sustainable business and the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
