6. Capitalize on and leverage results
Once the eco-innovation project sheets have been finalized, they are sent to the company's decision-makers (e.g., the R&D director) for evaluation and to determine whether or not to proceed with the proposed projects.
To facilitate this task, a number of indicators can be proposed to compare the different projects. These indicators may relate to:
