THE VISION OF A RESPONSIBLE BRAND
OUR EVALUATION TOOL,
THE ECO8 LABEL
Our eco-design approach is based on
a powerful quality evaluation tool: Eco8.
This tool was developed in 2011, with the
assistance and expertise of FCBA*, a leading
French technology institute.
It carries out an evaluation based on 8 criteria
that analyse the product’s life cycle, from the
design stage through to recycling:
– the materials considered for its manu-
facturing, the quality of their environmental
profile;
– manufacturing: assembly methods and the
environmental practices implemented in
workshops;
– use: product durability and ease of repair;
– recycling: the amount of materials used,
their separability and their end-of-life safety.
OUR COMMITMENT
Roche Bobois only considers products that
achieve or exceed 75% of the maximum
score as eco-designed.
As of 2023, over 60% of our new Roche
Bobois products meet the criteria for eco-
design. This number is constantly increasing.
Throughout this catalog, you will find the
‘Eco Designed’ logo on all relevant products.
OUR GOALS
We are committed to positioning Roche
Bobois as an international leader in the
manufacturing of environmentally friendly
furniture.
To that end, we have set ambitious targets
that undergo continuous monitoring:
– reducing the carbon footprint of all Roche
Bobois activities through multiple initiatives
carried out internally and with our partners;
– expanding our supply of sustainable
materials and wood from sustainable
forests that adhere to FSC/PEFC standards;
– improving the sustainability of materials
beyond regulatory requirements;
– increasing the proportion of newly eco-
designed products by 20% annually. In 2025,
100% of new Roche�Bobois products will
qualified as eco-designed.
