Sustainable development can help you chart your future

It makes good economic and environmental sense for your company to seek energy and materials efficiency. It makes good sense to develop more functional and durable products with higher value. These are some of the practical features of sustainable development that IRAP aims to help you integrate into your innovation projects. The design and development stages offer the best opportunity to take advantage of an environmental perspective to improve a product or service. This perspective helps you get it right the first time and avoid costly errors. It helps you focus on developing more competitive products and services as the basis for longer term growth of your company.
