Updates to our French Methodology

Following the latest guidelines from the 25th July

Recent updates have been made to the French methodology within our platform following the new version presented by the CGDD on July 25th. These adjustments impact the calculation of durability coefficients, French scores, and PEF scores.

Key Updates Include:

Non-Physical Durability Adjustment

• Simplified Criteria: Removal of “material” and “commercialization duration” index.

• Refined Coefficients: Adjusting the non-physical durability range from [0.5;1.5] to [0.67;1.45] 

Repair Intensity Index

Stricter Cost Thresholds: Lower thresholds for repair costs, making it more stringent and cost-effective for items like T-shirts (€20 to €10).

Range Breadth Index

Increased Differentiation: Threshold increased to 50,000+ references (previously 12,000+).

French Score Calculation Adjustments

• Durability Multipliers: Non-physical durability multiplier is now applied.

• Days of use = Average days of use *  Non physical durability. 

• French Methodology: The intrinsic durability and repairability multipliers are not currently considered.

PEF Score Calculation Adjustments (Based on Days of Use)

• Durability Multipliers: Combination of intrinsic durability and repairability multipliers

• Days of use = Average days of use * Intrinsic durability * Repairability

• Extrinsic Durability Multiplier: Fixed at 1 (covering holistic or emotional durability).

Simplified Score Visualization

• French Scores: Marked with French flags.

• European Scores: Indicated with European flags.

• Official Scores: Flagged with a “law icon” (for PEF Score/days of use and French Score).

Upcoming Adjustment

Automatic calculation of the French Score using the French database.

New Packaging Library

Enhance Your Packaging Management

The brand-new Packaging Library is designed to transform the management of packaging for lots and multi-element products, making it easier and more efficient.

Seamless Integration

Add e-commerce, in-store, and D2C packaging sets directly from the Packaging Library, ensuring a streamlined workflow.

Versatile Application

Utilize these packaging sets effortlessly when creating lot and multi-element products in the Product Library.

Enhanced Efficiency

Directly incorporate packaging sets during “New Evaluation” from the packaging life cycle step, leveraging the sets created in the Packaging Library.

Packaging Customization for D2C Distribution Scenarios

Elevate D2C Distribution with Advanced Packaging Customization

The platform now offers enhanced flexibility with the ability to customize default values for D2C packaging scenarios. Adjust primary, secondary, and tertiary packaging just as seamlessly as with In-Store/Retail and E-commerce scenarios.

With these new customization options, gain deeper insights and make more informed decisions on the environmental contributions of different packaging types in D2C business distribution.

Key Enhancements:

Customizable Packaging

Modify D2C packaging values during evaluations to better reflect distribution scenarios.

Enhanced Dashboards

Updated LCA Result and Product dashboards now facilitate a more straightforward analysis of the impact of various packaging types based on distribution scenarios.

Create Products links and follow the trends

Streamline Product Relationships with the New Related Products Feature

Introducing the Related Products feature in the Product Library, designed to enhance product management by allowing seamless handling of linked products.

Establish Product Links with the New Related Products Feature

1. Recurrent Product: Manage products sold year after year, even with potential changes in the supply chain (e.g., a spinning mill changing suppliers).

2. Gender Pair: Handle the same reference for both Men and Women.

3. Enhanced Edition: Track and manage versions of a product model, such as a new and improved version.

Unlock deeper insights

1. Create relationships between products and monitor their trends.

2. Observe product evolution over time across years and seasons.

3. Analyze different environmental scores to make informed decisions.

New Collection Dashboard

Transform How Collections Are Managed and Analyzed

Introducing the Collection Dashboard : a revolutionary tool designed to streamline the management of the environmental impact of fashion collections. With this personalized dashboard, you can utilize advanced filters to for in-depth analysis by department, sub-department, gender, and more.

Key features include:

• Comprehensive Analysis: Analyze environmental impacts by year and season, and compare collections across different periods.

• Strategic Insights: Drive impact reduction strategies with precision using European or French methodologies.

• Detailed Assessments: Evaluate impacts by references, produced/purchased items, and sold items.

Eight Intuitive Tabs for in-depth analysis

• General View: Instantly compare environmental scores, eco-scores, materials (recycled, organic, synthetic), and collection impacts by year and season, categorized by product type.

• Impact Analysis: Dive deep into the 16 environmental impacts of collections using different scoring systems (French, European).

• Eco-Score Analysis: Review and optimize the average eco-score of collections.

• Product Categories Overview: Identify key hot spot categories and sub-categories driving the environmental footprint.

• Traceability: Map out factory and supplier locations, along with the most used materials in collections.

• Durability: Evaluate durability scores, including emotional durability, quality, repairability, and the average number of wears.

• DPR (Precision): Access detailed precision values to enhance data collection accuracy.

• GHG Protocol: Access Scope 3 (Product) carbon footprint data according to the GHG Protocol, ensuring comprehensive carbon management (for cases where no factories belong to the brand).
