Equivalences & Standards

The Effinature standard mapped to 82 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 44 of the 82 surveyed frameworks in detail, through 2763 documented correspondences. Across comparable biodiversity frameworks, one Effinature reference covers on average 69% 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 82 international frameworks (comparable frameworks, sustainability-reporting frameworks, regulations and scientific sources), i.e. 2 763 documented, sourced correspondences. Effinature relates to these frameworks through four families: it covers comparable biodiversity frameworks (average coverage 69% of applicable criteria across the 18 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 82 international frameworks, i.e. 2 763 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.
