At a time when biodiversity is becoming an integral part of the extra-financial criteria of many real-estate groups, a discreet flaw with far-reaching consequences is appearing in certain decision-making chains. Some projects, despite being presented as committed, become ineligible for sustainable investors, Article 9 funds or SFDR compliance audits. Why is this? Because the right reflex was not made when choosing the biodiversity assessment or certification method. And this seemingly minor technical decision may be enough to remove the operation from the ESG consolidation scope.

While many integrated offers promise decarbonization, one question remains: who verifies the real environmental impact of these transformations? IRICE offers an evidence-based answer.

While public and private players are multiplying their climate and biodiversity commitments (PACB, SRB, SNB, Europe 2030), the absence of proof remains the blind spot in the ecological transition. IRICE proposes a solution: measure, certify, demonstrate.

In the face of the proliferation of labels, standards and discourse on biodiversity, IRICE points out a simple distinction: there can be no assessment without a method, no certification without a framework, and no legitimacy without empowerment. This text reviews the principles underpinning Effinature and BPS, and the structuring role of Biodiversity Partners.

Understand what the Ville Arborée method really covers, what it leaves out, and how Effinature certification can guarantee its ecological anchoring.

Achieving zero net artificial development (ZAN) means rethinking renaturation beyond the surface. How can we guarantee the real ecological effectiveness of our projects? Here's how.
