A close partnership since 2020
Since 2020, ADEO has been making innovative, cost-effective solutions that limit their impact on the environment accessible through its partnership with the Solar Impulse Foundation.
This partnership continues to focus on 3 areas:
- A selection of products integrated into our ranges.
ADEO stores distribute nearly 180 solutions validated by the Solar Impulse Foundation, such as bio-sourced thermal insulation and intelligent shower heads.
- The search for solutions to problems not covered by our own-brand offerings, thanks to the Solar Impulse Foundation’s ecosystem of innovators.
- Organising the annual Positive Home Challenge which enables innovative companies to present their solutions to ADEO’s international product managers with a view to marketing them in our stores.→Since the first event in 2021, almost 150 solutions have been pitched and around thirty tested in store.

About Solar Impulse Foundation
The Solar Impulse Foundation is a non-profit organization founded by the explorer and pioneer of clean technologies Bertrand Piccard.
Following the success of the first round-the-world flight in a solar aircraft, its mission is to accelerate the adoption of solutions capable of protecting the environment while reconciling economic development with the ecological challenge.
In this way, it reflects its founder’s unifying and realistic approach to the ‘qualitative economy’, demonstrating that it is possible to meet ecological challenges without undermining economic development.
- In April 2021, the Foundation achieved its first objective of identifying and labelling 1,000 ‘Efficient Solutions’, assessed as clean and profitable by independent experts.
- Since then, more than 1,600 solutions have been certified.
While continuing to expand its portfolio of solutions, Bertrand Piccard and the Foundation are seeking to:
- Facilitate the emergence of these technologies on the market.
- Advocate the modernisation of the legislative framework.
- Publish guides to support political and economic decision-makers in their ecological transition.
