Along the last two decades, corporate sustainability has become more global and fundamental to the success of most companies, evolving from expressing good intentions to addressing critical business issues linking economic, social and ecological performance (Kiron et al., 2015). Such “megatrend”, directly affecting the competitiveness and even the survival of the organisations, entails companies to update traditional business tools to consider the specialised requirements of environmental sustainability (Lubin and Esty, 2010). Ecodesign has emerged in the 1990s, defined as the integration of environmental aspects into product development, with the aim of reducing environmental impacts of products throughout their life cycle (Brezet and Van Hemel, 1997; Charter and Tischner, 2001). ‘‘Design for sustainability’’, or other similar designation, has been recommended for supporting companies to face the ever growing environmental and social pressures and to meet customers’ needs – therefore responding to the increasing demand for sustainable product design (Fargnolia et al., 2014). The traditional focus of ecodesign refers to product innovation processes, as acknowledged in the ISO 14062:2002 standard (International Standard, 2002). More recently, in the ISO 14006: 2011 standard, ecodesign also involved a broader scope of innovation within an organisation (International Standard, 20011).
