Gaining recognition for your commitment to biodiversity
When it comes to biodiversity, relying on a clear framework that is widely accepted enables stakeholders to speak the same language and ensures the reliability of their commitments. This is the purpose of the standards developed by industry stakeholders at the national level under the auspices of AFNOR—notably the NF X32-001 standard—and at the international level with ISO 17298.
Our key biodiversity certifications
- Addressing a critical issue
- Leading international standards
- An audit that can be combined with an ISO 14001 audit or a CSR audit
- An approach that can be integrated into CSRD or VSME reporting
Are you putting these voluntary standards into practice? Take it a step further and showcase your efforts: displaying a certification mark such as AFAQ Biodiversity demonstrates that your approach is relevant and effective. Download here the AFNOR Certification guide to help you prepare for certification. Then assess your organization’s readiness with a free 20-question online test to see if you’re ready for the AFAQ Biodiversity certification .
Another option: the ISO 14001 certification . This certification attests to the robustness of your environmental management system (EMS). More comprehensive than AFAQ Biodiversity, the ISO 14001 standard covers all environmental issues (water, air, waste, etc.)
Other certifications have proven their value by being tailored to very specific activities, such as AFAQ Clean Ports , for marinas. Goal: to make concrete commitments to protect aquatic environments and promote the sustainable development of coastal and maritime activities.
