Abstract

Summary : French legislation about consumer information is evolving towards mandatory providing of informations on goods and services sustainability, especially environmental labelling. Examining the relations of such consumer information with different modes of environmental governance, we first underline implicit hypothesis of such a way of functionning. We then examine the principal french cases of environmental information about goods and services, in order to bring to light problems that will have to be solved if such an information is to be pertinent. From these considerations emerge new presuppositions and new questions for information systems, which constitute what can be considered as a new paradigm. By enlightening the effectiveness conditions for this new function of information systems, this work shows the direction for new research paths about role and practical implementation of information systems.information systems. environmental labelling. sustainability. paradigms.
