Oxfordshire Greentech is proud to use Bioregional’s One Planet Living principles.
These principles target each aspect of sustainable living, ranging from Zero Carbon, to Local and Sustainable Food, to Health and Happiness. They map onto the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals and allow for a holistic approach that helps you work greener and live healthier and happier lives. We use them to help categorise the different topics our events are based on.

Switch Up Your Lunch
14 June 2021 | Lunchtime!
Practical action initiative
Oxfordshire is taking action on climate change. Oxfordshire Greentech, Good Food Oxford, Low Carbon Hub and WINS network warmly invite you to get involved in this year’s Switch Up Your Lunch pledge. This will be happening on Monday 14th June.
What is #SwitchUpYourLunch?
We want as many organisations in Oxfordshire as possible to try veggie/vegan for at least one lunch – to Switch Up Your Lunch. We’re asking you to either serve vegetarian/vegan food at your workplace, or recommend that employees eat vegetarian/vegan food for their meals as they work from home. Share photos of your delicious lunches online with the hastag #SwitchUpYourLunch
Why bother?
In Oxfordshire, food makes up a staggering 43% of our ecological footprint – more than transport or energy – and eating large amounts of meat and dairy products significantly contributes to our greenhouse gas emissions, as well as requiring more water and land.
Pledges to have a veggie lunch can be made via goodfoodoxford.org/switchupyourlunch

How to create more value in your business using circular business models
16 June 2021 | 10:00 – 12:00 BST
Online webinar
What are circular business models, and how can you use them to your advantage?
Circular business models can create more value for your business and a better experience for your customers. The idea is that you keep your products in use for as long as possible, either by giving them a longer life by either ensuring they have multiple users, or by hiring, leasing, and sharing.
SVBS have teamed up with fellow Oxfordshire Greentech members QSA Partners to host this workshop. Together, we’ll explore recent examples and take you through the first steps of implementing circular business models in your own business.
Topics include:
- Why are circular business models important?
- What is a circular business model? How they work & some examples
- How can my business create a circular business model? The steps and main factors in the process
- Practical exercise in getting started: Identifying new values

The future of sustainable construction: case studies from South and Vale
14th July 2021 | 12:30 – 14:00
Online Webinar
With massive resource use and pollution production, can construction ever be sustainable?
Construction is the cause of 50% of the world’s green house gas emissions, 23% of global air pollution and 50% of landfill waste. With issues around the energy use, material choice and waste created in construction itself and the emissions arising from the operational use of buildings and homes, there is an urgent need for new construction practices that don’t cost the earth.
Join Oxfordshire Greentech and Cambridge Cleantech, in association with Constructing Excellence Oxford Club and South Oxfordshire and Vale of White Horse District Councils, to hear about the current situation and future prospects of sustainable construction.
