Awareness of the environmental issues throughout the life cycle
The environmental issues throughout the entire life cycle of the products/services are not known
Certain major environmental issues are known but not necessarily linked to the life cycle
The main environmental issues are known throughout the entire life cycle
The main environmental issues are known throughout the entire life cycle and have been validated by the CEO
Knowledge of the stakeholders (clients, competitors, suppliers, State etc.) and their expectations or needs throughout the life cycle
The stakeholders have partly been identified along certain phases of the life cycle, but their expectations or needs are not (or hardly) known
The stakeholders have been identified throughout the life cycle, and their expectations or needs are known only when the stakeholders themselves explicitly announce them
The stakeholders and their expectations or needs have been identified throughout the life cycle, and sometimes their view on eco-design
The stakeholders and their expectations or needs have been identified throughout the life cycle; the stakeholders participate in eco-design projects
Dynamic analysis of the risks and opportunities linked to the life cycle of the company's products and services
No analysis of the risks and opportunities has been carried out
A partial analysis of the risks and opportunities has been carried out, albeit not linked to the life cycle
An analysis of the risks and opportunities has been carried out linked to the environmental issues throughout the life cycle, to the expectations or needs of the stakeholders and to the company's sphere of influence; but neither validated by the CEO nor shared with the project teams
An analysis of the risks and opportunities has been carried out and validated, both at projects and corporate level (business line or business unit)

Integration of life cycle thinking and eco-design in the business strategy by means of an action plan
The environmental performance has not or has hardly been integrated in the business strategy
The environmental performance has been integrated in the business strategy
The environmental performance and life cycle thinking have been integrated in the business strategy
The environmental performance and eco-design have been integrated in the long-term business strategy and is covered by an action plan
Top management provides resources for eco-design projects and life cycle management
No specific resources (budget, dedicated staff, training etc.) has been allocated to integrate life cycle thinking and to carry out eco-design projects
Resources are allocated for projects on an ad-hoc basis
Resources are allocated but they are insufficient to respond to the environmental issues and the long-term corporate strategy
Resources are allocated permanently in line with the corporate strategy and commitment to life cycle management and the implementation of eco-design
Integration of life cycle thinking and eco-design in the management reviews and decision-making process
The management reviews do not examine the environmental issues and the means to tackle them; none of the decision-making processes takes account of the environmental performance
The management reviews examine the environmental issues, albeit without linking them with the life cycle of products/services and without extending them to the company's sphere of influence
The management reviews examine the environmental issues from a life cycle perspective and the top management takes decisions to implement the practice of eco-design
The management reviews examine the environmental issues achieved and measured in eco-design projects, allowing the top management to take targeted decisions to boost the company's performance

Set-up of a multidisciplinary team to manage eco-design projects (marketing, design, R&D, production, sales etc.)
No multidisciplinary group has been set up
The design and/or R&D team consults the Environment Manager to take account of specific environmental issues, often due to regulatory requirements
A project team is formed ad hoc to respond to the environmental issues throughout the entire life cycle of products/services and to adopt an eco-design strategy
Project teams are systematically formed as part of the design procedures and methodologies, thus integrating life cycle management and environmental issues into daily operations
Integration of eco-design practices and methods in the development of products and services
No eco-design practices and methods have been integrated in the development of products and services OR Eco-design is occasionally used, albeit without systematic or reproducible methods
Eco-design practices are used to respond to a specific demand (by clients, the media etc.) with matrix-like tools, without necessarily using measurement indicators
The eco-design methods used favour simplified and quantified approaches and are applied throughout the entire life cycle
Eco-design methods and tools have been integrated in the development process in various forms, e.g. as working regulations, checklists or good practice guides. Databases enable to capitalize on acquired knowledge and to implement eco-design more efficiently
Definition and follow-up to eco-design performance indicators
There has been no clear identification of indicators to measure the environmental performance of eco-design strategies. There may be some generic indicators linked to abstract strategies/goals (e.g. "I use wood")
Some indicators have been identified, but they remain quite vague; the performance levels achieved are often expressed in percentages or quantities (e.g. an engine using x litres less) without validated comparison
Suitable indicators have been identified, often based on an overall vision of flows, sometimes coming from LCA software, simplified or not. They are used to compare the results got through eco-design with a reference situation
The identified indicators are similar to those in the previous level, but the performance is assessed more thoroughly through a large set of detailed, precise indicators. Other indicators show how eco-design experience feedbacks help implement new projects

Awareness raising and training on eco-design for the competent teams
No internal competences ___________________________________
When necessary, the company relies on external resources, such as consultancy, and/or action raising awareness or a brief training on the topic has been made for a relay employee
A reference person within the organisation has the necessary competences and is capable of managing eco-design projects
The entire project team working on the development of a project or service has received the necessary training and tools, and is thus implementing eco-design
Development of eco-designed products or services
No products have been developed based on eco-design
One or more products have been developed based on eco-design to meet specific demands or challenges faced by the company, without transmitting to other projects
Eco-design tools and methods are integrated in the company's product or service development process
All of the company's products and services are developed based on the company's eco-design vision and strategy

There is no external communication on the environmental performance of the company's products or services

The company has established a process/method for environmental communication on its products and services, mainly for its clients and suppliers
The external communication on the environmental performance of the company's products and services has been established and targets all the stakeholders in the life cycle (clients/users, suppliers, NGOs, end-of-life actors etc.).
