Energy and Ecological Transition for the Climate (TEEC)
What stands behind the label?
The Energy and Ecological Transition for the Climate (TEEC) label was launched in December 2015 by the Commissariat Général au Développement Durable in the French Ministry of Ecological Transition to promote investment funds to finance energy and ecological transition.
Thus, TEEC is the predecessor of the GreenFin label, which is promoted by the French governmental authority. Accordingly, the procedure as well as the characteristics of the label have been incorporated into the GreenFin label and are similar to it. In addition to investment funds, the TEEC label is aimed at green real estate funds.

Requirements for the “green” quality of the real estate funds’ buildings must also meet established criteria.

This committee consists of representatives of the state, investors, civil society and sustainable finance expert groups. However, the committee does not award labels itself.
