SOCOTEC has been working with its customers since 1953, as an independent trusted third party, to ensure the sustainability of buildings, installations and infrastructures, anticipate risks and adapt new and existing buildings to climate change and energy issues.
A Green Trust service is one where the issue at stake concerns the 6 environmental objectives of the European Taxonomy resulting from the Green Deal.
What are the 6 environmental objectives of the European Taxonomy?
GREEN TRUST by SOCOTEC :
- Focuses on reducing the environmental impact and optimising the energy efficiency of buildings, installations, equipment and engineering structures.
- Includes actions that are eligible under EU standards or whose environmental impact has been assessed by CSR experts from the Testing Inspection Certification inter-professional bodies (Filiance in France, TIC Council internationally).
- Is a service provided by a SOCOTEC expert, a trusted third party, who will provide you with a full, independent audit report on the condition of your installations, buildings and equipment in terms of regulations, standards requirements, building-related risks and target performance.
Environmental impact assessment
Carbon footprint and energy audit
Energy audits and carbon footprints are essential tools for assessing the environmental impact of your activities and identifying the measures you need to take to reduce it.

Biodiversity and health
Environment
The result of increased pressure from human activities, resources such as water and aquatic environments, air and soil are subject to a great deal of pollution and degradation that can affect biodiversity and human health.
Our experts will work with you to anticipate health, safety and environmental risks and offer you :
- Measure and assess the risks of pollution (water, soil, air).
- Inspect developable sites and wasteland for your construction projects.
- Support you with our « green worksites » offer, enabling you to respect the environment and neighbouring communities over the long term as part of your construction project.
- To be part of a certification process (ISO 14001, ISO 50001 or ISO 26000, for example).
- Implement the ECOCYCLE circular economy label (starting with a diagnosis of the site's resources, then putting them back into a recycling or reuse circuit via our partner platforms).

Energy alternatives
Decarbonated energies
Growing demand for energy is associated with rising greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to climate change.
Decarbonised energies have an important role to play in the transition to a low-carbon economy. To develop this sector, SOCOTEC has set up an independent entity: SOCOTEC Power Services.
SOCOTEC Power Services is 100% dedicated and specialised in decarbonised energy installations and infrastructures, with the aim of ensuring their safety, compliance, performance and sustainability.
