8. Regulatory Compliance and Environmental Claims

The ecological transition initiated at the European level has shifted the use of environmental claims from a declarative regime to a legal and economic one. Under the Green Deal, the European Union has strengthened requirements applicable to environmental communications to prevent misleading practices and ensure comparability, verifiability, and fairness of the information disseminated.

EU Directive 2024/825 on environmental claims strictly regulates the use of any assertion regarding environmental performance, benefits, or commitments.

In this context, content published on this website is structured according to a clear distinction between different levels of intervention:

  • Commitment is the responsibility of project owners.
  • Assessment consists of analysing a situation or approach based on defined criteria.
  • Certification is a formalised process, governed by impartiality rules, resulting, where appropriate, in an enforceable recognition.
  • Communication may only take place in consistency with the actual status of the project and the level of evidence actually established.

IRICE ensures that its editorial, methodological, and institutional content strictly respects this separation of roles. No promise of results, environmental impact, or performance is made in the absence of a formalised assessment or certification.
