SBTi validated
Climate targets approved by the Science Based Targets initiative.
Adapteo's modular buildings are made to evolve. They can be installed, moved, refurbished and used again, keeping valuable materials in circulation for longer. That makes modular construction a practical way to reduce waste and support your climate goals, without compromising on the quality, comfort or functionality of the spaces people rely on every day.
Adapteo's Science-Based Targets
Adapteo’s climate goals are validated as Science Based Targets, in line with the Paris Agreement, with a net zero commitment by 2040 and a near-term target to phase out fossil energy and fuels across own operations by 2030.
The Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) is the international gold standard for validating corporate climate targets. In September 2025, SBTi approved Adapteo Group’s near-term and long-term science-based targets. This makes Adapteo one of the first companies in its sector with validated targets. Approval means that independent experts have confirmed that Adapteo’s climate plan is aligned with the latest science and the 1.5°C pathway. Adapteo’s SBTs have been developed in accordance with the net-zero corporate standard (2024) and the building sector guidance (2024).
Life Cycle Assessment & Environmental Product Declaration
A Life Cycle Assessment looks at the environmental impact of a building across its life, from materials and production to use, reuse and end-of-life. We use LCA data to understand what makes the biggest difference and where we can improve, from design and materials to refurbishment.
The impact of reuse is clear. Reused Adapteo modules can have up to 96% lower embodied carbon than a new permanent building. New Adapteo modules can have up to 60% lower embodied carbon than a new permanent building.
EPDs, or Environmental Product Declarations, add another layer of proof by giving verified environmental data for building products.
Helping you tackle Scope 3 emissions
For many organisations, buildings and construction sit inside Scope 3 emissions. That means the way you create new space can affect your reported climate footprint. Adapteo helps reduce that impact by keeping buildings in use. Instead of demolishing after one project, modules can be moved, refurbished and used again.
For your organisation, that can mean fewer new materials, less construction waste and better data for climate reporting.
Minimising the carbon footprint
A building's climate impact comes from both how it is built and how it is used. Adapteo works on both.
Embodied carbon
Embodied carbon comes from materials, production, transport and installation. Our modular buildings use lightweight construction, efficient production methods and reusable modules to reduce the impact of creating new space.
Wood also plays an important role. More than three quarters of Adapteo's fleet is wood based, helping keep biogenic carbon stored in buildings for longer.

Operational carbon
Operational carbon comes from energy use during the building's life. Our buildings can support efficient operation through insulation, airtightness, heat recovery ventilation and modern technical systems.
Depending on the project, they can also be equipped with solutions such as solar panels and digital monitoring.

The circular model, reuse vs. demolition
Traditional construction is often linear:
Extract → Build → Use → Demolish → Landfill
Adapteo's model is different:
Manufacture → Install → Use → Relocate or refurbish → Reuse → Recycle
When a project ends, modules can be taken down, refurbished and used again somewhere else. That keeps materials in use and reduces the need to start from scratch.
In 2024, nearly 68% of Adapteo's rental demand was met through circular deployment, mainly by redeploying existing modules.
Materials, energy and operations
Our modules are designed as building systems, not one-off products. When they return from a project, they are inspected, maintained and prepared for their next use.
Across our operations, we are also working towards fossil-free operations and transport by 2030 and zero waste to landfill.
