2. Product/service design
This section of the assessment attempts to help you in forming a picture of how far your company is on the way toward a product-life-cycle oriented environmental management. The design of a product can have the greatest influence on the economics of production and the environmental impacts of the production process as well as the product itself. Yes No NA 1 Resource, material, energy and other efficiency criteria form an integrated part of our product development. 2 Our products/services currently meet all applicable environmental regulations, safety and performance standards. Our company attempts to minimize the amount of material used in the production, packaging, distribution and use of our product(s). Our company uses recycled, recyclable, renewable, or low impact materials in our products and packaging wherever it is possible. We have a policy to reduce or eliminate the toxic/hazardous substances used in the production and use of our products. Part of the design and engineering criteria of our product are increased product durability and lifespan. Our company has launched a program to increase the service intensity and/or leasing options of our products. We have designed and developed products that ease the disassembly, remanufacturing, recycling and disposal at the end of their useable life. We have determined the main environmental impacts and costs of our products throughout their life cycle (production, use and disposal). Totals: Score (%): 0 0.0 0 0

3. Procurement
The next statements refer to the firms attitude toward its suppliers. Optimizing the supply will not only increase your material efficiency, but also will affect environmental performance of other companies, fueling supply chain efficiency and innovation. Yes 1 Wherever possible, our company chooses products and materials that are fitted with environmental or eco-labels, or contain recycled/renewable material. Our purchasing decisions are based on a total cost assessment, taking into consideration transportation, use and waste management related costs of a particular material, substance or product. We have a policy to minimize or phase out the purchase, use, handling and disposal of hazardous or toxic materials and substances. We work with other business functions to discuss and improve purchasing procedures, criteria and efficiency. Our suppliers are required to provide environmental information on their activities and products. We communicate our environmental purchasing criteria/requirements to marketing staff, employees, stakeholders, and customers. Totals: Score (%): 0 0.0 0 0 No NA

4. Production and distribution

Eco efficiency is about the inputs (materials and energy) and outputs (product, waste, emissions) characterizing a production process and the whole life-cycle of a product. By optimizing these characteristics considerable reductions can be achieved in environmental impacts and costs. Yes 1 We have taken measures to reduce material, water and energy use in the production process. Our company attempts to use energy generated from renewable sources or from waste in higher proportions. Our company has integrated environmental and efficiency criteria in process design. Our company uses reusable/recyclable packaging, shipping containers or pallets. Recycling within our facilities is part of our company's current waste management system. We use by-products or wastes from one process in another product or process, or sell them to another company. We use fleet management tools, techniques and technologies to optimize distribution and shipping efficiency. In the distribution of our product(s) our company chooses transport options with comparatively less environmental impact (e.g. railways, waterways). We provide product refurbishing, remanufacturing, refilling or other services. Our company offers an exchange or take-back program to accept old or used products. Totals: Score (%): 0 0.0 0 0 No NA

5. Accounting
The calculation of environmental costs is a difficult task, but is serves as a basis for improvements or the assessment of different scenarios and investments. The fifth section of the performance assessment attempts to calrify at what stage your company is in this field. Yes 1 Our company tracks the environmental costs associated with our operations and processes (e.g., monitoring and abatement equipment, remediation, waste disposal, compliance costs). We measure the costs associated with the use and disposal of our products (e.g., energy/consumable use, recycling). Our management communicates information about environmental costs related to our operations and our produsts' use to our business units and personnel. We evaluate the environmental costs of capital purchases and new technologies to be acquired. Environmental costs are allocated to the departments or business functions where they are generated (e.g., activity-based costing). Our company allocates bonuses to its departments which have achieved an improved environmental performance. Totals: Score (%): 0 0.0 0 No
