Equivalences & Standards
The Effinature standard mapped to 83 biodiversity frameworks

Effinature is a project-level biodiversity standard (real estate and land development). This page situates Effinature framework by framework, by relationship: comparable frameworks, reporting frameworks it feeds, policies it implements, and scientific sources it builds upon.

One field certification, a common foundation for your biodiversity frameworks

Effinature maps 45 frameworks through 2869 documented correspondences. Across comparable biodiversity frameworks, one Effinature reference covers on average 66% of the applicable criteria — and the same certification then feeds your reporting (ESRS E4, TNFD, CSRD) and implements policies (GBF, SNB…).

In brief

Effinature is the certification standard for the biodiversity performance of real-estate and land-development projects, issued by IRICE (NORMAXIS group), a body accredited by Cofrac under no. 5-0655 to ISO/IEC 17065. This page maps, criterion by criterion, its correspondences with 83 international frameworks — comparable frameworks, sustainability-reporting frameworks, regulations and scientific sources — i.e. 2 869 documented, sourced correspondences. Effinature relates to these frameworks through four families: it covers comparable biodiversity frameworks (average coverage 66% of applicable criteria across the 20 mapped frameworks), it feeds reporting and sustainable-finance frameworks (ESRS E4, TNFD, SBTN, GRESB, EU Taxonomy, CDP, GRI 101), it implements public policies (Kunming-Montreal Global Framework, National Biodiversity Strategy, mitigation hierarchy, net-zero-land-take) and builds upon scientific sources (IPBES, IUCN). With 124 project-level criteria, Effinature consistently adds requirements others do not address — detailed fauna protocols, living soils, light and noise pollution, governance by a Biodiversity Partner, end-of-project ecological assessment — while producing field evidence usable directly in CSRD reporting and investor due diligence.

Frequently asked questions

Effinature is mapped against 83 international frameworks, i.e. 2 869 documented, sourced correspondences across four families: comparable frameworks, reporting/finance, regulation and scientific sources.
An Effinature certification, third-party-verified under ISO/IEC 17065, provides field evidence for 6 requirements of the CSRD's ESRS E4 (biodiversity) standard.
Yes: Effinature feeds 34 TNFD (Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures) requirements with ready-to-use ecological evidence.
An Effinature-certified project documents the biodiversity evidence for 16 GRESB requirements, useful for the ESG rating of real-estate assets and portfolios.
On the applicable biodiversity criteria of ISO 17620:2025 (net biodiversity gain process), the Effinature standard covers 24/28 for the NCO variant (new construction).
No, they are complementary: GRI 101 is a reporting standard, whereas Effinature provides the field evidence feeding 7 of its requirements.
Effinature relies on 124 project-level criteria, a Cofrac-accredited third-party certification (no. 5-0655, ISO/IEC 17065) and field evidence usable directly in sustainability reporting — a depth and independence guarantee few approaches offer.
Yes: Effinature feeds 16 SBTN (Science Based Targets Network) requirements at project level.
