This document provides guidelines to develop long-term strategies (roadmaps) for innovating responsibly, thereby helping organizations to achieve socially desirable outcomes from their innovation processes.These roadmaps encourage a “responsibility-by-design” approach that integrates considerations of technical, ethical, social, environmental, and economic aspects all along the research, development, and design process leading to an innovation.The document aims at all organizations and agents involved in planning and performing research and innovation and technological development.The focus is on innovation enabled by transformative technologies.This document has been designed to be consistent with, and to support, as much as possible, existing management system standards and management/governance standards (e.g. EN ISO 9001). Particular attention has been given to social responsibility (i.e. EN ISO 26000).This document has been designed to be consistent with, and to support, as much as possible, existing management system standards and management/governance standards (e.g. EN ISO 9001).
