Abstract

Spécialisé dans la conception et la production de solutions d’éclairage HID et LED depuis 111 ans, Schréder est reconnu comme un leader mondial de l’éclairage extérieur. La société développe des solutions qui vont plus loin qu’un simple éclairage de villes et monuments. Elle travaille avec ses clients pour développer le meilleur éclairage qui combinera l’esthétique à la performance énergétique.
Une des quatre valeurs fondamentales de Schréder est la durabilité. L’entreprise a construit sa réputation tout en tentant de minimiser son empreinte écologique et celle de ses clients. Aujourd’hui, elle souhaite aller plus loin dans cette démarche en étudiant la possibilité d’implémenter les principes de l’économie circulaire. L’étudiant intrapreneur a donc été chargé d’élaborer un plan stratégique sur cette thématique.
Lors de la première étape du projet, un examen des bonnes pratiques en matière d’économie circulaire a permis d’identifier comment les différents modèles d’économie circulaire pourraient s’appliquer à l’industrie de l’éclairage. Pour mener cette analyse, trois secteurs principaux ont été sélectionnés: l'industrie de l’automobile, de la construction et des équipements électroniques et appareils ménagers. Parallèlement, une analyse des besoins du marché a été réalisée au travers d’entretiens avec les équipes commerciales. Une matrice a ensuite été construite pour identifier et évaluer les meilleures opportunités commerciales pour Schréder en économie circulaire. Suite à la validation de ces premières analyses par le directeur général, l’intrapreneur a poursuivi son étude pour appliquer ses recherches au le fonctionnement de Schréder. Elle a élaboré, en collaboration avec une équipe technique, des lignes directrices pour le développement de nouveaux luminaires. De plus, comme une stratégie verte réussie dépend d'une bonne communication externe, un outil de marketing a également été créé.
Les résultats de ces analyses et les initiatives clés déjà mises en œuvre ont permis à l'intrapreneur de recommander à l’entreprise de poursuivre le travail entamé. La société a la capacité interne de mettre en œuvre un tel concept qui représente une évolution essentielle pour un avenir durable. Specialized in the design and production of HID and LED lighting solutions for 111 years, Schréder is well-known as a worldwide leader in outdoor lighting. The company develops solutions that go beyond the simple lighting of cities and monuments. It works with its customers to develop the best lighting solution that will combine both aesthetic and energetic performances. 
One of Schréder’s four fundamental values is sustainability. The company has built its reputation while trying to minimize its ecological footprint and the one of its customers. Until now, it mostly concentrates on energy saving. Today, Schréder wants to go further with this value and to start including circular economy in its business model. The intrapreneur student was therefore entrusted with the project of building, for the lighting company, a strategic plan surrounding circular economy.
As a first step of the project, a review of the circular economy best practices was carried out to identify how circular economy business models could be applied to the lighting industry. To conduct this analysis, three main sectors were selected: the automotive industry, the construction industry, and the electronic equipment and home appliance industry. Simultaneously, an analysis of the market needs was achieved through interviews of different commercial teams. A selection matrix was then built to assess and identify the best business opportunities for Schréder. After the validation of these analyses by the CEO, the intrapreneur further investigated how to implement her results in Schréder’s processes. She developed, in collaboration with a technical team, guidelines for the development of new luminaires. Furthermore, as a successful green strategy depends upon a good external communication, a marketing tool was also developed.
The results of these analyses and keys initiatives already implemented allow the intrapreneur to recommend Schréder to continue the work. The company has the internal capacity to implement such a concept that represents a key evolution for a sustainable future.

Abstract

Modern consumers are confronted by a growing array of colorful eco-labels on everything from coffee to computers. Yet, not all of these eco-labels are trustworthy. Despite the existence of well-established best practices for eco-labeling, many labels remain little more than superficial exercises in 'greenwash.' How can consumers separate greenwash from genuine attempts to address environmental challenges? 'Beyond Greenwash' systematically investigates the credibility of transnational eco-labeling in a global and cross-sectoral context. It brings original data, an innovative mixed-method research design, and a unique measure of procedural credibility in transnational governance to bear on one of the most salient questions in contemporary global environmental politics.

Abstract

The circular economy describes a world in which reuse through repair, reconditioning and refurbishment is the prevailing social and economic model. The business opportunities are huge but developing product and service offerings and achieving competitive advantage means rethinking your business model from early creativity and design processes, through marketing and communication to pricing and supply. Designing for the Circular Economy highlights and explores ‘state of the art’ research and industrial practice, highlighting CE as a source of: new business opportunities; radical business change; disruptive innovation; social change; and new consumer attitudes. The thirty-four chapters provide a comprehensive overview of issues related to product circularity from policy through to design and development. Chapters are designed to be easy to digest and include numerous examples. An important feature of the book is the case studies section that covers a diverse range of topics related to CE, business models and design and development in sectors ranging from construction to retail, clothing, technology and manufacturing.Designing for the Circular Economy will inform and educate any companies seeking to move their business models towards these emerging models of sustainability; organizations already working in the circular economy can benchmark their current activities and draw inspiration from new applications and an understanding of the changing social and political context. This book will appeal to both academia and business with an interest in CE issues related to products, innovation and new business models.
