A careful consideration has been given to extend product or service lifespan by giving priority to maintainability (reusability, reparability, adaptability, upgradability, modularity ...) and prevent end-users from being tempted or forced to renew them (planned obsolescence).

A careful consideration has been given to equipment end of life (WEEE directive, waste recovery, reuse...)

The project is developed as far as possible in an open and participatory logic (open source, open innovation, crowdsourcing, collaborative innovation, partnership ...)

The basic principles of eco-design (lifecycle, functionality, multicriteria) have been integrated into the product development (ex: green patterns for software, iso14062 standard ...)

The project seeks to take into account the potential transfert of impacts between different sustainability criteria and/or different stages of the life cycle of the product/service (eg. environmental benefit to the detriment of social benefit, positive impact in use but very negative at the end-of-life)

A management system to ensure the quality of the product or service (ISO25000 for software, systems analysis, AGILE method, customers feedback reporting, continuous improvement...)  has been set up

Products and suppliers are selected taking into account sustainability criteria included in the specifications (labels as Epeat, Blue Angel, Energy Star, CSR (corporate social responsibility), compliance with the recommendations of the ILO ...)
