Adapteo also appoints Lina K Wiles as Chief Sustainability Officer (CSO) as of March 13. Both roles will report to Johanna Persson, President and CEO of Adapteo.

Adapteo, a leading partner in adaptable and circular building solutions in Northern Europe, has had substantial growth in revenues in the last few years.

“Adapteo’s sustainability ambitions are set high, and we see a need to separate our sustainability work into its own function to accelerate our sustainability efforts even more. Our new Chief Sustainability Officer will report directly to me and play a key role to our customers, as I am convinced that our dedication to sustainable development will be a competitive advantage for Adapteo on our journey forward”, said Johanna Persson, President and CEO.
