Apps ecodesign requirements

Ecodesign aims to reduce the environmental footprint of a product or service throughout their entire lifecycle by including environmental consideration from the design stage to its end of life, through its production, use, and disposal.

In 2025, 100% of Orange brand products will have to follow an ecodesign approach.

The ecodesign approach as it has been defined within the Group takes place in 4 key stages during which the project team is supported by an ecodesign Lead:

1. Make sure you have the necessary prerequisites for the process
2. Define the environmental strategy of your product or service
3. Integrate environmental requirements into the specifications
4. Implement the identified actions

This approach must be initiated as early as possible before the marketing brief and the RFI / RFP, by involving the different stakeholders: marketing, design, technical, etc. Co-reflection is crucial, because it determines the essential impact of the upcoming product/service. It is the heart of the transformation of our processes.

For any eco-design support, you can contact [e-mail]. This would include help and support for GreenSpector tooling on optimizing your application and monitor your software ecodesign (supports only Android so far).
