Marketing - Business/Commerce (general) / Fabricant de produits d\'extinction
English term or phrase: applicable R&D
Il s'agit de la page du site internet qui présente une entreprise spécialisée dans la fabrication de produits d'extinction d'incendie:
"we are dedicated to applicable R&D".

Le contexte semble insister sur le fait que l'entreprise accorde beaucoup d'importance au développement de techniques/produits durables et respectueuses de l'environnement.

Je ne vois pas bien comment traduire "applicable". S'agit-il d'une formulation maladroite pour "applied R&D" ? Ou s'agit-il plus probablement de l'idée que l'entreprise fait "tout ce qui est possible" en matière de R&D pour développer ces techniques durables ? Merci d'avance pour votre aide et vos suggestions !

On est plutôt dans la traduction de "applied R&D" à mon avis.
Sinon, il manquerait un mot en anglais. Ex : "applicable R&D strategies"

@Asker
Sorry, don't know what I was thinking of: of course it's "research and development"!

Asker: Merci ! Je pensais cependant que R&D = recherche et developpement. Ai-je tort ?
