The climate impact from the production of building materials is high. One of the most important pieces of the puzzle in our work to reduce climate emissions and contribute to a more sustainable society is therefore to focus more on circular construction such as reuse and conscious choice of materials.
One of our high sustainability goals is to halve emissions per built square metre (Scope 3 per GFA) in our property development by 2030 and we are working systematically to achieve this. To scale up the work with reuse, we have:
- established a reuse strategy,
-
established the Reuse Hub in Solna Business Park three years ago as part of our circular construction initiative. To enable larger volumes and better resource efficiency, we transferred the hub to Ragn-Sells in April 2026. In connection with this, we also became a member of Reboost – an initiative that enables large-scale reuse of building materials through shared logistics, quality assurance and more efficient material flows.

- opened Stockholm's first Reuse Park in Arenastaden that now became a central hub for trees, shrubs and outdoor materials that are to be reused but are awaiting relocation to new sites.
- adopted a reuse target which means that all our remodeling projects must meet a circularity index of at least 20 percent*.
*The goal means that at least 20 percent of the construction material supplied to a project must be either reused material, material with recycled and/or renewable content.
Building for the future
An example of building for the future is to focus on architectural quality that stands the test of time. Creating environments that can change over time with the help of flexible solutions that make remodeling more efficient, facilitate shared use and enable different areas of use. It is also about creating future conditions for circular material flows in all our projects. We do this by choosing materials with a long service life that can be repaired and dismantled and that are suitable for reuse or material recycling.
