What links sustainability and profitability? For Bertrand Piccard, the real link is is efficiency. Today’s world is full of waste. Energy, natural resources, and most other materials we use to sustain ourselves is not used in an efficient way.

Piccard explains how the shift to renewable energy does not mean sacrificing the comforts we know, but rather excitement about what it will unlock for the world. Through disrupting industries that have been historically flagged as being detrimental to the environment, such as the aviation industry, he harnesses a sense of adventure to demonstrate the opportunity and possibilities that clean energy creates.

As the Founder and Chairman of Solar Impulse Foundation, Piccard has spent his career pioneering clean energy solutions and working to make going green profitable. Following in the footsteps of a family of scientific and explorative pioneers in their own right, Piccard has achieved emission-free aviation, and inspired many to find climate solutions in their own sectors.
