y integrating environmental performance from the design phase, ecodesign transforms the way we approach POP displays. To make this ambition a reality, we have several recognized tools to measure, analyze, and optimize each project.
Our ECO-POP tool, developed in-house and continuously improved, analyzes each stage of a project to provide a comprehensive eco-design assessment. This approach is supported by recognized benchmarks, such as SHOP!SKOR, which follows the PEF methodology. SHOP!SKOR summarizes environmental impacts into a single, clear score. To ensure ongoing progress, SHOP!ECO certification provides a structured framework and validates our eco-design practices.
Before you move on
Team Pilotes specializes in creating, designing, and manufacturing point-of-sale displays, retail furniture, and merchandising solutions, all 100% tailored to the in-store projects of retailers and brands. And because we care about climate and environment, we analyze the life cycle of each project with the goal of avoiding, reducing, and offsetting its impacts. 🌍🌿

1. ECO-POP
ECO-POP is an in-house developed life cycle analysis tool, tailored specifically to our field. It allows us to measure the environmental impact of each material throughout its life cycle.
Developed in 2013 by our team in collaboration with external experts, ECO-POP is continuously refined and updated to maintain its accuracy and relevance.
2. SHOP!SKOR
SHOP!SKOR is a national life cycle analysis tool developed by our industry organisation, SHOP!, and is the benchmark for POP marketing professionals.
Did you know ? SHOP! is a global non-profit organisation dedicated to promoting retail environments and experiences.
This tool is based on the Product Environmental Footprint (PEF) method, the most advanced scientific approach to environmental assessment, also endorsed by the European Union. SHOP!SKOR combines 16 impact indicators into a single score, expressed in micro points, providing a clear overview of the overall environmental impact.
With SHOP!SKOR, we can:
- → Identify the main sources of environmental impact at each stage of the life cycle, helping us understand the origin of the impact of POP materials.
- → Compare and reduce the impact of eco-designed POP materials in redesign projects, enabling more informed choices about materials, finishes, packaging, and production.
- → Transparently communicate the environmental performance of materials after impact analysis or eco-design, to raise awareness and engage departments, suppliers, and customers in improvement efforts.
3. SHOP!ECO
SHOP!ECO is an ecodesign label developed by retail professionals and supported by the French agency for ecological transition, ADEME. The label is based on the ISO 14001 certification and the AFAQ ecodesign standard from AFNOR Certification. It is the first standard specifically focused on POP marketing activities.
The label certifies continuous improvement in the ecodesign of POP materials by manufacturers. PILOTES first achieved SHOP!ECO certification in 2015 and has maintained it ever since.
These tools do more than reduce the carbon footprint—they also drive efficiency and cost savings. Is ecodesign just a passing trend, or a necessary transformation for POP marketing? Can the POP sector play a role in significantly improving the environmental impact of points of sale?
