Our mission: to structure biodiversity as a sustainable performance standard
Effinature, the benchmark certification for local authorities, developers and investors. BPS, a structuring label to promote biodiversity in real estate.
A scientific response to the challenges of ecological transformation
The ecological transition can only be based on well-founded, robust and verifiable tools. To meet this need, we have created IRICE - the Institute for Research and Innovation in Climate and Ecology.
Our mission is clear: to structure, certify and advance the integration of biodiversity into real estate and development projects. Far from generic discourse, IRICE offers concrete tools adapted to institutional requirements:
Scientifically-based guidelines, validated by an independent advisory board
Certifications aligned with international standards
An active role in the evolution of public policies and professional practices
Supporting the sector's transformation
Our role goes beyond certification: we collaborate with local authorities, public agencies, investors, certifiers and construction leaders to bring about common standards. IRICE is today :
The Effinature certification body, accredited by Cofrac (Accréditation pour la certification de produits, procédés et services, n° 5-0655, scope available on www.cofrac.fr)
The initiator of the BPS (Biodiversity Performance Score) label, designed to structure projects in the absence of any regulatory obligation.
The reference contact for public and private players wishing to integrate a credible biodiversity component into their approach
Creating a demanding yet accessible standard
Create a clear, demanding standard that can be applied by all committed professionals
Disseminating a culture of results rather than a display of intent
Putting an end to the confusion between labels, claims and certifications
A promise of reliability for your projects
By choosing IRICE, project owners, investors, developers and local authorities can rely on :
Reliable, assessed indicators
A process recognized by public authorities
Concrete recognition of their CSR and ESG commitments
