| Taxonomie UE | DNSH-ADAPT | Related match | Low | Combating heat islands through building greening and controlled sealing constitutes an adaptation response, without a formalised climate-risk analysis. |
| GRESB | GRESB-SITE-GREENROOF | Close match | Medium (65%) | Vegetation-and-building requirement covers green roofs/facades as habitat. |
| GBF | Target 2 | Narrow match | Medium | The creation of structured biodiversity areas, the restoration of living soils and the re-establishment of ecological continuities contribute to the rehabilitation and improvement of ecological integrity and connectivity at the site scale. |
| GBF | Target 8 | Narrow match | Medium | Building greening, de-sealing against heat islands and stormwater management constitute nature-based solutions strengthening the site's climate resilience. |

| ÉcoQuartier | Engagement 9 | Related match | Medium | Greening and buildings contribute to the landscape and architectural quality of the ÉcoQuartier. |
| BNG | BNG-06 | Close match | Medium (68%) | Prioritising the delivery of on-site gains (habitat creation and enhancement) corresponds to Effinature's implementation of a Structured Biodiversity Area (EBS), set-aside areas, building greening and shelters for fauna. |
| IFC PS6 | PS6-§25 | Close match | Medium (60%) | Mitigating impacts on priority ecosystem services and resource efficiency overlaps with sustainable water management, combating heat islands and building greening. |
| ESS6 | ESS6-§11c-services | Narrow match | Indicative (50%) | The affected ecosystem services (water regulation, heat islands, water supply) assessed by ESS6 overlap with Effinature's management of the water resource, stormwater and combating heat islands. |
| DGNB | ENV1-A | Related match | Low | Habitats on roofs/facades counted toward biodiversity area <-> vegetalisation of the built envelope. |
| WELL | WELL-M09-P2 | Related match | Low | The requirement for a mostly vegetated outdoor space partially overlaps with the greening of buildings/exterior, but WELL reasons in terms of surface/well-being and Effinature in terms of ecological value. |
| WELL | WELL-F100-P1 | Related match | Medium | The quantified share of the site in planted spaces including canopy (WELL) overlaps with Effinature's greening of buildings and outdoor spaces, a CBS/biodiversity co-benefit, but WELL targets well-being and not ecological value. |
| WELL | WELL-F100-P2 | Related match | Low | Indoor plants and green walls (WELL) partially overlap with Effinature's greening and buildings, but WELL targets occupant well-being and not the ecological function. |
| Green Star | GSDAB-LUE-HEAT | Related match | Low | Green roofs/vegetated surfaces used for heat mitigation relate to Effinature's végétalisation et bâti. |
| CASBEE | Q3.1-green | Related match | Low | Greening and buildings overlaps with the roof/façade greening valued by CASBEE. |
| Green Mark / CBI | GM-LRA | Close match | Medium | Effinature's greening and buildings (terraces, planters, roofs) overlap with the components counted in the LRA (Sky Terraces, Communal Planter Boxes). |
