The Peas Manifesto
We founded Peas Industries out of a belief that commercial companies can be a major contributor in creating a stronger planet. The social, economic and environmental challenges of today are leading to fundamental changes of society as we know it. This will affect most incumbent business models substantially. By understanding the forces at play combined with commercial thinking and entrepreneurial skills, Peas Industries aims to take a key role in this transformation.
For us, this is about building meaningful and profitable companies that integrate people’s needs with the integrity of the planet. Our goal is to create positive development through commercial savviness combined with a humanistic and respectful mindset.
We are looking for challenging cases. They tend to be the ones that achieve the greatest impact on society and long-term commercial success. Peas Industries is active today within some of the most disruptive industries from a positive impact perspective: a renewable energy sector, circular waste management and sustainable food production.
Our head office is located in Stockholm, Sweden. Total sales revenues in 2021 amounted to SEK 5,259 million.
