Our analysis and innovations
Biodiversity is now an integral part of urban development projects. For developers and investors, environmental labels are no longer a matter of communication, but of value strategy.
Certification, a lever for land arbitrage
The introduction of enforceable environmental indicators (open space coefficients, green grid, etc.) makes certification essential for development projects. Effinature, prescribed by a number of PLUi, is becoming an essential tool in land-use decision-making: differentiation, prioritization, securing.
Standards that become normative
The recognition of IRICE by COFRAC and its inclusion in urban planning documents (Est Ensemble, Grand Paris Sud, Toulouse Métropole) have seen certification shift from a voluntary register to a quasi-normative reference. The challenge is no longer to align, but to anticipate.
A response to pressure on usage
Faced with the challenges of ZAN and the increasing complexity of land law, biodiversity is becoming a negotiating variable: reconversion, densification, compensation. Certification makes it possible to objectify these approaches and make them audible to local authorities.
Conclusion
Ecological performance is no longer an afterthought. It has become a condition of economic and regulatory viability. Arkoris supports this evolution with certification engineering rooted in the realities of the real estate market.
