Abstract :
To survive in an ecologically restricted environment, companies increasingly have to create environmental capabilities to support their competitive advantage. To achieve this, firms must employ various tools to ensure profitability while ecodesigning their products and services. This paper introduces Bayer Eco-Check, a tool which aims at evaluating strategically important product groups and provides the risk profile of a product.
