STYLE Insights - Using sustainability evaluation tools in industry project teams

Summary: 

STYLE focused on specific scenario: “A project team is evaluating options for a resource or energy improvement for their process or product and they need a pragmatic tool to check the broader sustainability implications of each technological solution”.

The STYLE Insight summaries highlight issues and recommendations of using sustainability evaluation tools in industry project teams:

  • Simple, but not Simplistic - Challenges for qualitative sustainability assessments
  • Working with Industrial Realities - Providing day-to-day value for industry project teams
  • Transparency - Acknowledging limitations to move forward
  • An Uncertain World - Bring certain of your knowledge and data uncertainties
  • Aiding Decision Making - Integrating Sustainability through Stage-Gates
  • An Ideal Toolkit Framework - A high-level STYLE view
