Eco label score calculator

The eco-score generated through this self-assessment tool is indicative only and does not represent a formally standardized or internationally validated sustainability rating. The methodology, parameters, weightings, and scoring criteria used in this tool are subject to ongoing research, expert consultation, and future international alignment efforts. As a result, the current eco-score should be interpreted as a preliminary guidance metric, intended to raise awareness and support voluntary improvement, rather than as a definitive or audited environmental performance label.

Robotics sustainability assessment is an evolving field, and no globally agreed framework, common calculation method, or harmonized indicator set yet exists. Further scientific work, cross-sector agreement, and international standardization are required before a fully validated eco-score system can be established.

By using this tool, you acknowledge that the results are not legally binding, not externally verified, and not suitable for regulatory compliance, procurement guarantees, or comparative claims without additional independent assessment.

Note: The calculated eco-label score is displayed only to you and is not accessible or stored by us.

Importance factors determine how important each sustainability dimension is in calculating the overall eco-score. A higher value means that dimension has a greater impact on the final result. Values can be set between 0 (no influence) and 100 (maximum influence).

NOTE: If importance factor is 0 then questions related to that particular dimension are not asked!
