International correspondences (21)
| Framework | Provision | Relation | Confidence | Rationale |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ESRS E4 | E4-4 | Narrow match | Indicative (55%) | The (harmonised) Biotope Area Factor sets a quantified threshold/target of biodiversity-favourable area. |
| CSRD | ESRS-E4-5 | Close match | High | The CBS determination tool measures the share of surface favourable to living organisms, a direct indicator of the land-use impact factor required by E4-5. |
| TNFD | C1.0 | Close match | Medium | Land use and the Biotope Area Factor measure the project's spatial footprint and permeable/rehabilitated areas. |
| TNFD | C1.0 | Close match | Medium | Land use and the Biotope Area Factor measure the project's spatial footprint and permeable/rehabilitated areas. |
| TNFD | RE.A1.1 | Exact match | High | Building greening, the native plant palette and the Biotope Area Factor directly measure the green spaces created and the share of native species of RE.A1.1. |
| TNFD | RE.A1.1 | Exact match | High | Building greening, the native plant palette and the Biotope Area Factor directly measure the green spaces created and the share of native species of RE.A1.1. |
| Taxonomie UE | 7.1-SC-c | Close match | High | The CBS/CBSh, the definition of open ground and combating sealing minimise land take and maximise vegetated/permeable areas. |
| GBF | Target 12 | Close match | High | The core of the Effinature standard (creating green spaces (plant heritage, CBS, open ground, building greening) and blue spaces (stormwater), ecological continuities and user well-being/connection to nature in the built environment) corresponds directly to the increase in area, quality and connectivity of urban green and blue spaces targeted by the goal. |
| NRL | Art. 8 | Close match | High | The Biotope Area Factor (CBS/CBSh) and its updates measure and steer the share of vegetated/eco-developable surfaces of the project; it is the direct operational tool for maintaining and then increasing the urban green spaces required by the article. |
| SNB 2030 | SNB-M01 | Broad match | High | The CBS measures and steers the share of de-sealed/eco-developable surfaces, a direct lever for combating artificialisation. |
| Code urb. | L151-22 | Exact match | High | L151-22 establishes the very principle of the CBS (minimum share of weighted eco-developable surfaces); EFF-C-001 is the tool for determining the CBS. Identical object. |
| HQE | HQE-BD-C1.1 | Related match | Medium | The sustainable development of the plot mobilises a vegetated-surface indicator, analogous to Effinature's CBS. |
| HQE | HQE-BD-C1.2a | Close match | Medium | The plot's greening/permeable-surface ratio is measured by the CBS. |
| Labels complémentaires | LPO-08 | Related match | Medium (60%) | The CBS quantifies the eco-developable / non-artificialised surface. |
| ÉcoQuartier | Engagement 20 | Broad match | High | The ÉcoQuartier's soil preservation/restoration encompasses this Effinature requirement for preserving living soil (state, quality, land use, sealing, CBS/open ground). |
| Crédits biodiv | BC-P05 | Related match | Indicative (55%) | The CBS determination tool provides the basic surface metric of the gain. |
| IFC PS6 | PS6-§10 | Related match | Indicative (45%) | Effinature does not require a formal offset mechanism, but its ecological-gain indices (ITCE, IVS/IVE, CBSh) pursue a partially analogous objective of a measurable no-net-loss/net-gain outcome. |
| DGNB | ENV2.3 | Related match | Low | CBS/biotope-area tooling relates to sparing land use and unsealed area share. |
| Green Mark / CBI | GM-GnPR | Close match | High | The CBS determination tool and the GnPR share the same Biotope Area Factor logic. |
| SITES | Soil+Veg C4.8 | Related match | Indicative (50%) | Maximising the functional vegetated surface = CBS determination tool. |
| ARB IdF | IND-04 | Close match | High | The CBS determination tool is the calculation mechanism of the ARB indicator. |
