Abstract: Abstract Eco-efficiency is currently the dominant postulate for a sustainable economy. However, the effect of this postulate is offset by the rebound effects, so that, overall, no significant reduction in resource and energy consumption can be observed. This chapter presents the first ideas of an integral resource management. It builds on the four-quadrant scheme of Ken Wilber (The integral vision, Sage, Boston, 2007) and the concept of Spiral Dynamics. Based on theses concepts, I suggest that only transforming companies from a postmodern to an integral development level will allow the economy to recognize, accept, and manage the contradictions between sustainability and efficiency.
