Global Growth Companies Report

The report details the 2013 Annual Meeting of the New Champions, highlighting the engagement of 180 Global Growth Companies (GGCs) across four thematic pillars: Transforming Industry Ecosystems, Unleashing Innovation, Building Societal Resilience, and Connecting Markets. Key discussions focused on the transition to a circular economy, the impact of shale gas on energy ecosystems, the necessity of renewable green energy to address planetary boundaries, and the economic effects of US Federal Reserve monetary policy on emerging markets.

• The energy ecosystem is undergoing rapid transformation, specifically driven by the emergence of shale gas resulting from advances in fracturing and horizontal drilling.
• To address dwindling resources, the report advocates for a shift from the traditional "take, make, dispose" business model to a "circular economy" designed to be restorative and eliminate waste.
• The planet is facing a "quadruple squeeze" consisting of climate change, overpopulation, collapsing ecosystems, and surprise tipping points. To counter this, the report identifies two essential transitions: the move to a renewable green energy future and the creation of a sustainable food system.
• The US Federal Reserve's unwinding of monetary policy is creating ripple effects globally, specifically causing currency instability in emerging markets like India and Brazil as investors shift toward the dollar.
