Abstract
Although consumers are increasingly critical to include environmental and social aspects in their purchase decision, environmental friendly product design is not widespread, and for many products there are no sustainable alternatives. Additionally, sustainability is a very complex issue which overtaxes many companies forcing them to leaving it behind. The concept for a framework presented in this paper is a first step towards supporting sustainable development by making this complex task tangible (problem layer), projectable (goal layer) and accessible (action layer).
