World most resource
smart business?

46. Peloton Club
Peloton Club is the peer-incubator for
energy smart startup companies. Our
teams create solutions to wicked problems.
Where is the economy heading? Are we
doomed to crises after crises, without any
idea where we are going? It takes courage
to say out loud that there is another way.
It takes courage to make an impact in
the new economy.

47. Conclusions:
resource smart business...
...creates customer value and frees
people from natural resource
dependency.
...does not lead to more resource
use somewhere else – pure
efficiency does not cut it.
...scales like there is no end, i.e. is
affordable.
...not minimizing impact but
maximizing it!

48. The
challenge
for you!
