How are the products evaluated?

To assign a letter to each product, sustainability experts have drawn up a list of more than 70 criteria assessing the environmental and social impact of the product from its design to its transport to the country of sale.

Particular attention is paid to the eco- and socio-design, recyclability and carbon footprint of products:

  • The use of recycled or bio-sourced materials in the manufacture of the product and its packaging
  • Compliance with international guidelines prohibiting the use of substances hazardous to health and the environment
  • Compliance with ISO standards on eco-design
  • Evidence that an audit has been conducted based on reputable standards for employee working conditions
  • The recyclability of the product and packaging
  • The possibility of a second life after a cycle of use (e.g. collection for recycling)
  • The use of less polluting modes of transport such as boats
  • The geographical location of the production site
  • The implementation of a committed Corporate Social Responsibility policy
