Expertise for a sustainable vision: certifying, innovating and protecting biodiversity

At IRICE, we are driven by a strong conviction: to reintegrate nature into the heart of construction projects in order to shape a sustainable future. This mission is underpinned by the expertise of our Scientific and Technical Committee, which helps to create and develop Effinature certification standards for construction, renovation, operation and land development. Together, we ensure that every project becomes a model of sustainability, by guaranteeing the smooth operation, development and promotion of these pioneering certifications.

Our Scientific and Technical Committee brings together architects, ecologists, scientists, landscape architects, project owners, property developers, local authorities and design offices. All are united by a common vision: to rethink the act of building in harmony with nature, to offer living spaces that respect the environment and improve quality of life.

This diversity of expertise, gathered around the same table, guarantees balanced and innovative solutions. We firmly believe that every player has a role to play in the ecological transition, and we are proud to contribute to a future where nature and man coexist harmoniously. The composition of our Committee is available on request from IRICE, for those who wish to join us in this forward-looking initiative.
