Established in 2004, the One Planet Communities programme started here at the BedZED eco-village in Hackbridge, South London where BioRegional’s headquarters are now based. Inspired by the lessons we learned in the process of developing BedZED, staff in our London office work directly on the communities in the UK and Europe as well as supporting the project work of the regional offices when needed.
