Effinature — biodiversity certification for construction and development

An accredited biodiversity certification, issued by an independent third party

Effinature assesses the biodiversity performance of a construction or development project against a proprietary framework of the NORMAXIS group. Unlike a self-declared label, the certification is issued by IRICE, a body accredited by Cofrac (no. 5-0655) under ISO/IEC 17065 for the "construction" family. It is this accreditation — audited and monitored by a third party — that makes the claim defensible to investors, local authorities and buyers.

Four frameworks cover the project life cycle: NCO 25.05 for new construction, EVO 25.05 for renovation, HOR 25.05 for development, and the HVE add-on for operational monitoring. The project design can be supported upstream by ARKEMEP or ARKENOR; the certification decision belongs to IRICE alone, conducted independently of any advisory work — this separation of roles is the condition of the impartiality required by the standard.
