Transform our world through efficiency
The Needed Shift
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.
The good news? Efficiency opens a new path to reconcile protection of the environment and economic welfare. Solutions exist to build a sustainable and resilient economy, but we urgently need greater collective action to make them land and therefore shift the way we produce, consume, and manage resources.
Donate
We must shift the paradigm from a sterile quantitative growth to a qualitative economy that thrives by consuming better, not more.

Our Way of Operating
For over a decade, the Solar Impulse Foundation has been identifying and accelerating clean, profitable solutions worldwide. 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.
The Solar Impulse Foundation accelerates the ecological transition, leveraging efficiency through 4 key levers:
Advocate for Efficiency
Through recognised publications coupled with high-level access, we advocate for modern policies that enable the transition.
Transform markets
Every year we connect over 2000 private and public decision-makers with labelled solutions to enhance their deployment.
Mobilise finance
We crowd public and private finance towards efficient solutions, and accompany investment funds to maximise impact.
Inspire Collective Action
Through campaigns, media presence and exhibitions, we inform the public about the opportunities of the ecological transition and their power to drive it.
