The Eco-designers’ Charter is the voluntary and committed response of design professionals to the major challenges of sustainable development. It is also a response to articles 8 and 9 of the Charter of the Environment, which was incorporated into the French Constitution on February 28, 2005. <\/p>\n
By eco-design, we mean a design approach that takes into account ecological responsibility, health, social justice and cultural contribution – for our contemporaries and future generations – in the innovation, design and development of products and services. Eco-design integrates these parameters in a systemic approach. This approach must be understood as a process of continuous improvement, in line with current advances in technology, science and human knowledge. It is our duty to make a contribution to sustainable development, in the context of our professions, our services and the products that result from them. <\/strong><\/p>\n Our commitments are simple, reasonable and valuable. 1. Continuous improvement 2. Systemic approach 3. Acting together 4. Social responsibility 5. Resources 6. Water, Air, Soil 7. Energy 8. Waste 9. Health 10.

\nTo integrate sustainable development issues into our design processes in order to minimize environmental impact and aim for the well-being of present and future human beings, we commit to the following 10 principles:<\/p>\n
\nBe part of a process of continuous improvement, questioning and permanent innovation. This involves training and informing the various players in the process. <\/p>\n
\nDesign your work using a systemic approach that takes into account multiple criteria and their interactions.<\/p>\n
\nInvolve customers and suppliers in this process, to ensure their long-term commitment.<\/p>\n
\nTake social and health conditions into account when choosing suppliers and companies, even when selecting customers.<\/p>\n
\nEnsure that the choice of materials and equipment is based on environmental and social criteria throughout their life cycle.<\/p>\n
\nConsider water, air and soil as common human assets that must be preserved and not polluted throughout the product or service life cycle.<\/p>\n
\nMinimize energy requirements throughout the product or service life cycle. Give priority to renewable and non-polluting sources. <\/p>\n
\nMinimize environmental pollution and promote recyclability of the product or service, as well as related residues and packaging.<\/p>\n
\nTake into account the health impact on all living organisms by ensuring the safety of the product or service (in the current state of knowledge).<\/p>\n
\nTake biodiversity into account so as not to harm it, and aim to preserve it throughout the product or service life cycle.<\/p>\n
