Congrès International sur l’Analyse du Cycle de Vie Lille, Novembre 2011 - une augmentation de leur durabilité - une réduction de la présence de substances toxiques dans les produits - une meilleure recyclabilité des matériaux. Ces améliorations ne se font pas au détriment de l’esthétique du produit. Au contraire, l’entreprise a gagné un prix de design pour l’un de ses produits éco-conçus. Un produit durable peut donc être à la fois performant et beau. Aujourd’hui, 25 % des ventes de Lumec sont des produits éco-conçus. En outre, la démarche durable a mobilisé les employés de l’entreprise (70 % d’entre eux soutiennent les pratiques de développement durable de Lumec) et augmente leur degré d’engagement envers elle. Life Cycle Management Capability Maturity Model: helping SMEs apply LCA in business decision making Sonia VALDIVIA, Secrétariat du PNUE/SETAC Life Cycle Initiative We know that worldwide product chains are global, as are the impacts of consumption and destruction. This makes an overview impossible. Targeted focus is therefore required. We are not thinking outside the box; we are investing 85% of our resources and improving only 20% of all areas. The goal of the maturity model is to change this situation. A couple years ago, we drafted a proposal for a tool called the life-cycle management capability maturity model, designed to support SMEs and the supply-chain so they may improve their capabilities. It is important for SMEs to understand the international context especially in rapidly growing and emerging economies, which provide 60% of the jobs. We tried to address SMEs and help them in this respect. While the SMEs’ GNP impact is not huge, the social and environmental impacts and employment creation make them relevant. While corporate sustainability issues are global local issues vary. These need to be understood. No matter the agenda, education and skills are always valued, particularly in areas of low education where these maturity models are well received. In emerging economies, SMEs are still open to the green agenda. The maturity models help companies move towards life-cycle thinking by promoting a balanced improvement network, which is designed to help them improve their LCAs. Indeed, limited resources mean we need to improve performance. Maturity models define 5 levels. The first level, ad hoc, is chaotic. This is where most SMEs are located. The second level, called m anaged/qualified, has some structure such as compliance regulations and a binary system. Most SMEs are moving towards this. The third level is called efficient. You can find procedure, organization, and timelines in this level. The metrics are more varied and inputs and outputs are considered. The fourth, effective, has management systems in place and incorporates the value chain, especially when export -oriented. The Metrics are addressing cradle to grave scope. The fifth level is called adaptive. This level is really difficult to achieve even for the most advanced companies. In this level span of control is society. Using slow feedback from society, the goal is to improve the LCAs through the continual improvement of the metrics and indicators. This starts with a self-assessment process to expand scope from unit operations to facilities to enterprises, and to value chains. The next phase is to help SMEs improve their performance and incorporate LC thinking. We want a cluster of companies and their suppliers working together under the coaching of international experts. Depending on where the cluster is, a local expert will be trained for that region. The process should take 1-2 years, with companies sharing the cost of meetings. In this phase, SMEs, companies, suppliers, communities and UNEP will share platforms and save costs. Big companies will see benefits from SMEs improvement. This could facilitate harmonization and structure. Less than 5% of SMEs are aware of cleaner, eco-friendly production possibilities.
Congrès International sur l’Analyse du Cycle de Vie Lille, Novembre 2011 Communities also benefit from this phase due to job creation. We’ve been working ten years on this and want to produce more benefits. This is not possible without sponsorship; we are hoping for a 50/50 split between the private sector and the public sector (government and associations). We need support from companies particularly large ones who can help identify key suppliers. The maturity models are expected to become training documents. Echanges avec la salle De la salle Y a-t-il eu des interactions relatives à la démarche de développement durable entre Lumec et Philips ? Jonathan HARDY Elles sont peu nombreuses. Nous tentons actuellement de les développer davantage. Pierre ECHARD Quelles sont les attentes des organismes de soutien vis-à-vis des entreprises ? Les actions d’autres acteurs (associations de consommateurs, pouvoirs publics) font-elles aussi pression sur les entreprises ? Guy BELLETETE La pression des Organisations non gouvernementales (ONG) peut être utile, mais elles doivent comprendre qu’une phase d’apprentissage est nécessaire et longue. Les entreprises, quant à elles, ne doivent pas croire que toutes se sont mises au développement durable parce qu’elles l’ont fait de leur côté. Christophe ROBIN L’entreprise doit rester elle-même. Par ailleurs, certaines initiatives gouvernementales, comme la réglementation sur l’étiquetage et l’affichage environnemental, peuvent jouer un rôle de levier. Guy BELLETETE Les entreprises mal intentionnées ou qui ne désirent pas se conduire de façon responsable sont rares. Beaucoup sont prêtes au changement. Pierre ECHARD Comment les entreprises peuvent-elles vous contacter ? Guy BELLETETE C’est l’institut qui va à la rencontre des entreprises. Christophe ROBIN Le pôle éco-conception dispose d’un site Internet et de centres relais, notamment au sein des CCI, qui sont le premier interlocuteur des entreprises. Sonia VALDIVIA Pour ma part, il suffit de m’envoyer un e-mail. De la salle The emphasis on LCA and maturity models requires the involvement of international institutions. Have you put in place a cooperative framework that will allow this? Sonia VALDIVIA Not yet. The next phase is to validate our model. We need to approach these other organizations and raise funds. The World Bank might be interested.
