Transform our world through efficiency
Our Cause
Each year, 2/3 of energy is wasted due to inefficiency, representing $4.6 trillion in losses and over 37 gigatons of CO₂ emissions. Our current way of operating—producing more, consuming more, and depleting our planet’s resources—is both unsustainable and irrational.
To build a sustainable and resilient economy, we need to rethink how we produce, consume, and manage resources.
The good news? Efficiency opens a new path.
Support us
We must shift the paradigm from a sterile quantitative growth to a qualitative economy that thrives by consuming better, not more.
Bertrand Piccard, President
Our Mission
For over a decade, the Solar Impulse Foundation has been working in identifying, labelling and accelerating the adoption of clean and profitable solutions worldwide.
These innovations can replace wasteful practices, optimize resources, enhance processes, and reduce costs while significantly cutting CO₂ emissions. Proving that a smarter, more sustainable world is not only possible but also profitable.
To champion these solutions, we have created a unique Efficient Solution Label, bringing visibility, credibility, access to market and access to finance to innovations evaluated by independent experts for their environmental and economic performance.
To this day, we have labelled 1900+ of them. All available in our open source Solutions Explorer online.
